Characteristics of co-residing parents and adult children in 2021
In 2021, 7.1 million people, or one-fifth (19.5%) of the population living in a private household, lived in an intergenerational household, which is composed of parents and their adult children aged 20 years and older, without any additional generations present. For young adults pursuing post-secondary studies, living in the parental home can offer considerable cost savings when feasible. In 2021, nearly half (47.5%) of people aged 20 to 34 years who were attending school lived with their parents in an intergenerational household.

Survival for lung cancer doubles
Lung cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in Canada. However, the five-year net survival for this cancer more than doubled from 1992-to-1994 to 2019-to-2021. During this period, the five-year age-standardized net survival rose from 13% to 27%. The improvements in lung cancer survival have been ascribed to advances in treatment. Despite the progress achieved in survival, lung cancer remains the most common cause of cancer death in Canada, accounting for almost one-quarter (23%) of all cancer deaths in 2023.
