Dashboard on COVID-19 surveys
The Monthly Financial Well-being Monitor
This survey launched in August of 2020 and runs monthly. It changed names from the COVID-19 Financial Well-Being Survey to the Monthly Financial Well-Being Monitor in July 2023.
It collects information about the following:
- changes in employment, income, investments and debt
- how Canadians are managing their day-to-day finances during the COVID-19 crisis including the use of emergency funds, managing credit and debt, and keeping up with bill payments
- uptake and awareness of supports offered by government and financial institutions
- impacts of the crisis on debt loads and longer-term savings
- Canadians’ risk of being targeted by fraud and financial scams
The dashboard shows data about Canadians' financial well-being, including their debt management, spending habits, stress levels, budgeting practices, and emergency preparedness. It compares the latest wave of data with findings from the 2019 Canadian Financial Capability Survey for questions that were included in both surveys.
The datasets for the Monthly Financial Well-being Monitor and the Canadian Financial Capability Survey are available upon request: Data Request Form.
