Life Under Capitalism At Any Age Is Very Insecure.

A study conducted by McMaster University in Hamilton and the Poverty and Employment Precarity in Southern Ontario surveyed 1,189 employed young people in Hamilton and concluded it was an accurate picture of what it is like for most workers under 35 in Canada.

 They see the lack of full-time jobs, permanent jobs and affordable housing as the greatest causes of depression and anxiety.

 Only 44 per-cent have found full time, permanent jobs. The majority reported not having jobs that have health benefits, pension plans or employer-funded training, while 38 per cent said they expected to be worse off than their parents.

 There is no escaping the conclusion that whether one has a job or not, life under capitalism at any age is very insecure.
