I was recently interviewed in the Investment Executive. The article discusses a recent study from StatsCan showing that students are facing larger student debts – it’s a worthwhile read, so go check it out!
From the article…
A recent Statistics Canada report reveals 57% of the graduating class of 2005 had student loans, up from 49% a decade earlier. Average student debt upon graduation rose to $18,800 from $15,200, and the proportion of borrowers who graduated with debt loads of at least $25,000 increased to 27% from 17%.
Furthermore, the StatsCan study shows a substantial gap in wealth levels between those who borrowed and those who didn’t. In 2005, the average amount of assets of post-secondary graduates aged 20 to 29 who had borrowed money was $60,700, compared with $106,300 for those who hadn’t taken out loans
