Collaboration across fields of expertise allowed for the issues to be examined from a multidisciplinary perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis collection of extremely recent data is a real gold mine for better understanding the principles of overindebtedness in Quebec today. This study sheds light on various debt mechanisms and could serve as a tool for understanding the issues involved,\u201d explains Pugliese, a researcher who specializes in finances and inequalities at the INRS Urbanisation Culture Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Research Centre.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:150px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim has-background-gradient\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(238,238,238) 0%,rgb(216,221,229) 100%)\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Post-survey analyses revealed that 18% of Quebec\u2019s adult population had difficulty repaying their debts in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.602), 19px);\">With inflation and the rising cost of living, the research team found that this proportion continued to rise in the first half of 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Uncertain financial environment: weaker purchasing powe<\/strong>r<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report <a href=\"https:\/\/frq.gouv.qc.ca\/histoire-et-rapport\/le-surendettement-parmi-les-menages-quebecois\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Le surendettement parmi les m\u00e9nages qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois<\/em> <\/a>(Overindebtedness in Quebec households) looks at the reasons for borrowing or turning to credit. While purchasing real estate, obtaining a car, or funding education immediately spring to mind, Professor Pugliese reminds us that there are other situations that lead to borrowing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor many respondents, we observed what we called <em>compensatory debt<\/em>: borrowing related to job loss, illness, support for a loved one or child, separation, or even a combination of such life events.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite><strong>Maude Pugliese<\/strong>, researcher who specializes in finances and inequalities at the INRS Urbanisation Culture Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Research Centre.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The verdict is that over 70% of people who take out a loan to compensate for job loss or illness have difficulty repaying their debts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, in the event of financial difficulties or projects that require a certain amount of money, vulnerable groups may turn to private, unofficial, or online lenders. These lenders often have terms that lack transparency, and they may charge up to 40% interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot everyone has access to conventional bank loans. By better understanding the motivations of people who need to borrow, we can also identify routes that lead to overindebtedness. What we\u2019re seeing are certain vulnerabilities, tensions between the lack of consumer protection on the one hand, and underlying economic problems on the other,\u201d explains the researcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Better support with practical solution<\/strong>s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor Pugliese and her team list several solutions in the report. These include the need for potential users to be more included financially. More specifically, financial institutions could put initiatives in place that make every individual feel legitimate and welcome in their spaces. This concept calls for more flexibility and a better understanding of the backgrounds of people that may approach traditional banking chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also notes that single-parent families and separated parents face particular difficulties. Food and housing costs are continuing to rise, putting a strain on household finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the dozen experts agreed that government assistance programs should be maintained and enhanced\u2014employment insurance, family assistance programs, and disability benefits are all social safety nets that provide support to members of the population who need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this context, improving the population\u2019s financial literacy is becoming increasingly essential. At a time when a loan can be finalized in just a few clicks, for instance, understanding the consequences surrounding the concepts of credit and debt is even more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/inrs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/maude-pugliese-professeure-institut-national-recherche-scientifique-inrs.jpg\" alt=\"La professeure Maude Pugliese de l'INRS\" class=\"wp-image-12407\" style=\"width:720px;height:480px\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inrs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/maude-pugliese-professeure-institut-national-recherche-scientifique-inrs.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/inrs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/maude-pugliese-professeure-institut-national-recherche-scientifique-inrs-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inrs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/maude-pugliese-professeure-institut-national-recherche-scientifique-inrs-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inrs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/maude-pugliese-professeure-institut-national-recherche-scientifique-inrs-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Professor Maude Pugliese.
