Young Canadians are working significantly fewer hours today than they did 35 years ago, leading to lacklustre employment levels for those under the age of 24, a new study has found.
The median number of weekly hours worked by young Canadians has declined 16.3 percent since 1989, according to a report from the Fraser Institute.
