The Frustration of Canada’s Over-Credentialed Working Class

Oct 10, 2024 | cardus.ca | Daniel Proussalidis |Renze Nauta |Sean Speer

We define Canada’s working class as those in jobs that do not require a post-secondary credential. A majority of people in the working class are over-credentialed for the job they hold. Fifty-six percent of them have a post-secondary credential. Nineteen percent even have a university degree. The proportion that is over-credentialed has grown steadily over the last two decades, from 42 percent in 2006 to 56 percent in 2024.

How Big Is Canada’s Black Market for Sports Betting?

Sep 5, 2024 | cardus.ca | Daniel Proussalidis |Johanna Lewis

One of the arguments made when single-event sports betting was legalized in Canada in 2021 was that people were going to bet on sports anyway, so why not make it safer to do so, and taxable? There’s an element of truth to this. Regulation does allow for government oversight and improved play protections, and it’s better for gambling revenue to go to problem-gambling treatment and other government programs than to organized crime. Yet there are several problems with the argument.
From Exceptional to Routine

Aug 7, 2024 | cardus.ca | Daniel Proussalidis |Alexander Raikin

The number of Canadians dying prematurely by “medical assistance in dying” (MAiD) has risen thirteenfold since legalization. In 2016, the number of people dying in this way was 1,018. In 2022, the last year for which data are available, the number was 13,241. MAiD in Canada is the world’s fastest-growing assisted-dying program. MAiD is now tied with cerebrovascular diseases as the fifth leading cause of death in Canada.
The Progressive Case for Educational Pluralism

May 14, 2024 | cardus.ca | Daniel Proussalidis |Ashley Rogers Berner

Educational pluralism is an approach to the structure and content of school systems in which the government funds and regulates, but does not exclusively deliver, public education. In North America today, support for educational pluralism (or, in US parlance, “choice and academic accountability”) is often perceived as a right-of-centre position. A close examination of the record, however, suggests that this characterization misses the mark.
Still Christian(?) | Cardus

May 7, 2024 | cardus.ca | Daniel Proussalidis |Andrew Bennett

Cardus, in collaboration with the Angus Reid Institute, conducted a survey in February 2024 to find out what Canadians who identify as Evangelical, Catholic, and mainline Protestant believe. “Religiously Committed” Christians do not necessarily adhere to core Christian beliefs or teachings. Younger Christians appear to be more intentional or committed to the teachings and practices of the faith than Christians of their parents’ or grandparents’ generations.

Pandemic Fallout

Nov 29, 2023 | cardus.ca | Daniel Proussalidis

This research study delves into the impact of the massive COVID-19 education disruption on schooling across Canada and the collateral damage now affecting the pandemic generation of students. Approaching four years after the initial shock, the fallout from “education’s long COVID” lingers on in the form of measurable learning loss, stunted social development, and mental-health side effects.
