Nanos began tracking Canadians perception of standards of living in the country, in 2012.
“Approximately two in three Canadians believe the next generation of Canadians will have a lower standard of living than they have today (67%) reaching an all time high numerically since tracking first started,” the poll said.
Nearly 75% of those surveyed aged 18-34 expressed their belief that the next generation of Canadians would have lower standards of living, the poll said, an opinion held by 69% of those aged 35-54.
Individuals aged 55 and over were less likely to say the next generation would live under lower living standards, 62% supporting that possibility.
