Youthful Cities is excited to release the Urban Work Index 2023, championed by RBC Future Launch. Now in its third iteration, this ranking covers key topics within the ecosystem of work — education + training, affordability, good youth jobs, entrepreneurial spirit, city economy, equity + diversity, sustainability, public health, public transportation, and digital access.
This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada’s National Essential Skills Initiative program.
DEVlab is a project led by Youthful Cities in partnership with Tamarack Institute to develop a dynamic, engaged, and vital young workforce in cities through a deep investigation into the skills youth need to succeed. It is initially funded in part by the Government of Canada’s National Essential Skills Initiative program. We will use a community action research approach across eight Canadian cities: Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, Regina, Moncton, Yellowknife, and Whitehorse.

Youthful Cities, in partnership with Tamarack Institute, seeks to investigate how the youth workforce and work ecosystems in Canada have changed after the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are asking you to participate in our online Youth Workforce Survey. This survey aims to better understand how young people view their work-life dynamics, their employability, the resources provided by their cities, and the skills needed to succeed in the current and future job markets. Your answers will help inform research around public policies for youth work and living practices in your Canadian city.
Youthful Cities is a social enterprise that creates data-driven solutions to make cities better for everyone. We bring together young people (15-29 year-olds) to collect data, spark dialogue, generate insights, and then work towards positive action. Click here to learn more about our values.
