According to Ipsos, those 18-34-year-olds are “significantly more likely” to say they will be making a New Year resolution compared to older age groups when it comes to their finances or physical health. Those with children in their household are also more likely to say they will be setting resolutions on all of these areas compared to those without, Ipsos says.For example, the poll’s data shows that “49 per cent of parents say they will make a resolution on their physical health compared to 39 per cent of those without children.”Canadians also have mixed perceptions when it comes to other key social and environmental issues.
“Those 18-34 are significantly more likely to express optimism about nearly all of these topics,” according to Ipsos.With soaring inflation and repeated interest rate hikes, Canadians both young and old report “taking actions this year to save money, largely centered around day-to-day costs,” the poll shows.
