Financial literacy is an essential life skill especially as you enter the workforce, get credit cards, and apply for loans. The Canadian Financial Capability Survey (CFCS) indicates that women (68%) have a much lower understanding of finances and in the long term suffer greater financial stress than their male counterparts (57%). The same survey also exposes the differences between Anglophone versus Francophone Canadians. It appears that certain groups have faced barriers in improving their financial knowledge, which highlights the need to tailor financial literacy efforts for different populations.

Studies indicate the psychological effects of racism include post-traumatic stress disorder and other forms of stress-related disorders. Due to race-based threats, Black families are reluctant to engage with services and avail of community resources mostly because many are part of a system that has been historically oppressive towards them.
