This future outlook indicator allows Statistics Canada to stay up to date on how hopeful Canadians feel about their future. Three waves of the CSS were combined to allow for better disaggregation of data. Using new Canadian Social Survey (CSS) data, this study examines the future outlook of the Canadian population. At the same time, the cost of living is increasing, meaning food, housing, and gasoline are all becoming less affordable, and that could make Canadians feel uncertain about the future. While many COVID -19 mandates and restrictions have recently been lifted, the virus continues to spread in our communities. The pandemic has disrupted the lives of many Canadians, with most individuals and families having to cope with rapidly changing circumstances, challenging situations, and uncertainty about the future. However, those who live in a larger household with children, or persons who have a strong sense of belonging to their local community have above-average levels of hopefulness. Some population groups have below-average levels of hopefulness, including persons with a disability and the LGBTQ2+ population. In 2016, 75% of people in Canada reported feeling hopeful about the future, compared with 64% of the population in 2021/2022. The proportion of Canadians reporting a hopeful outlook on the future is substantially lower compared with 5 to 6 years ago. Text - Selected Related information PDF (164 KB)
