Canada added nearly 100,000 full-time jobs, yet youth unemployment remains stubbornly high. Why are young Canadians struggling to find work while employers continue to hire?
In this episode, host Mike Wixson sits down with journalist and author Tristin Hopper to discuss Canada's growing youth employment crisis. They examine the changing job market, the impact of immigration policy, temporary foreign worker programs, international student permits, housing affordability, and the long-term consequences of an entire generation struggling to gain workplace experience.
Tristin also shares insights from his book Don't Be Canada: How One Country Did Everything Wrong, exploring how policy decisions can have unintended consequences on jobs, housing, and opportunities for younger Canadians.
Topics include:
• Canada's 14% youth unemployment rate
• Why entry-level jobs are becoming harder to find
• Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) programs
• International students and labour market competition
• Immigration policy changes since 2021
• The impact of youth unemployment on future careers
• Brain drain and young Canadians leaving for opportunities elsewhere
• Housing, affordability, and economic pressures
• AI and the future of entry-level employment
• Solutions for restoring opportunities for young workers
Do Canada's youth face a tougher job market than previous generations? Join the conversation.
