US EditionCanadian youth struggle with making friends and bullying: UNICEF report
- UNICEF released a report on May 13, 2025, highlighting Canadian youth's struggles with bullying, loneliness, and difficulty making friends compared to other wealthy countries.
- These issues have persisted before and during the pandemic, with experts noting that supports for children are decreasing rather than increasing.
- The report shows that 22% of 15-year-olds experience frequent bullying, one in five feel lonely, and one in four find it difficult to make friends at school.
- Among 36 countries evaluated, Canada was positioned near the lower middle in overall rankings, with life satisfaction among 15-year-olds decreasing by three percentage points to 76%; however, this decline was not deemed statistically significant.
- The report calls for fundamental policy changes in education, funding, and healthcare with urges to double the Child Disability Benefit and expand parental supports to help youth thrive.
