About RBC Future Launch:
Prosperity for all Canadians is directly linked to our ability to prepare young people to succeed in an ever-changing global economy.
Canada’s youth are set up to fail in the new economy. In fact, today’s younger generation is at risk of ending up poorer than their parents. If we fail to close the gap between the unemployment rates of Canadian youth and those of prime-working age would mean missing out on a nearly $30B lift in our economy. Young people today have lower net wealth than their counterparts did in the early 1980s, despite spending more on schooling and having more credentials.
We’re bringing young people together with community leaders, and partners across the private and public sectors to help them prepare for the future of work. That commitment began in 2017 with RBC Future Launch, and the investment of $500 million dollars over 10 years.
