An economist predicts a poor job market for youth moving into September.
The desire for lower tuition comes after a summer of patchwork financial assistance programs and lost employment opportunities for students. It also poses a challenge to colleges and universities: lower tuition so that students can attend, or keep tuition costs the same and risk losing students altogether. into student financial assistance during the pandemic. But students say it’s not enough, and that it’s leaving some student populations out entirely.
“The job market will remain quite poor, I suspect, for youth,” Macdonald said, adding that students could save money by moving back in with their parents. “I think that now we will see a real provincial phase of student support, which will vary dramatically, likely depending on which province you’re in,” he said.
That fight is especially critical right now amid the pandemic, said Sofia Descalzi, CFS’ chairperson.
