Cover image

This fact sheet presents the highlights of a study commissioned by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to look at housing from an intergenerational perspective. It profiles three generations commonly known as the Baby Boom (born 1947-1966), the Bust (born 1967-1979) and the Echo (born 1980-1997). It uses census data and interviews to demonstrate how generational differences and similarities in several variables affect housing demand, choice and affordability. The report concludes by discussing how housing policy can be strengthened by adopting an intergenerational approach to policy-making.
