Surveyed in February 2022, more than half of Canadians (51 percent of men and 54 percent of women) reported being challenged by the cost of living. These difficulties were more prevalent among younger Canadians, particularly women: 63 percent of women aged 18 to 34 reported difficulties, compared to 58 percent of their male counterparts. In contrast, among Canadians over the age of 55, men were more likely to report being unable to cope with the cost of living (47 versus 43 percent).
