Impact of COVID-19 on parental expectations, savings intentions and other plans to financially support children’s postsecondary education / by Aneta Bonikowska and Marc Frenette.: CS36-28-0001/2021-1-3E-PDF

"This insights article examines changes in parental expectations—between before and after the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdown—that their children will pursue postsecondary education. It also looks at the various ways in which parents plan to help their children financially, for example, by putting aside savings for their children’s postsecondary education; offering them free room and board when they are attending a postsecondary institution; or, later still, helping to repay their student loans. The analysis in this study is based on data from the 2020 Survey of Approaches to Educational Planning, which was conducted both before and during the lockdown"--Abstract, page 1.
