In this episode of Classonomics, Sabrina Maddeaux and Mike Moffatt examine how Canada’s outdated Employment Insurance model leaves young professionals and gig workers behind during record spikes in youth unemployment. They explore why current rules penalize urban renters, how maximum benefits fall short of basic living costs, and what practical policy reforms could fix the system for the modern workforce.Chapters:00:00 Canada’s EI System Wasn’t Built for Today’s Workers01:02 How Employment Insurance Became Outdated02:16 How EI Eligibility Actually Works03:10 Why Young Workers Are Falling Through the EI Gaps06:23 EI Doesn’t Cover Most Gig Workers07:38 The EI Rules That Punish Short-Term Jobs09:24 What Happens When EI Runs Out?11:11 Why Ottawa’s EI Fixes Aren’t Helping Young Workers15:03 EI Benefits Don’t Go Very Far in Toronto17:42 How We Could Actually Fix Employment InsuranceResearch:Statistics Canada - Employment Insurance Coverage Survey, 2024 (youth eligibility 50.3%, part-time 41.6%):https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/251029/dq251029a-eng.htmStatistics Canada - Labour Force Survey, July 2026 (youth unemployment 12.6%):https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/260807/dq260807a-eng.htmService Canada - EI regular benefits eligibility and the qualifying period rule:https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/ei/ei-regular-benefit/eligibility.htmlService Canada - EI benefit amount (55%, $729 weekly max, $68,900 MIE for 2026):https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/ei/ei-regular-benefit/benefit-amount.htmlESDC Digest of Benefit Entitlement Principles - long-tenured worker definition and 20 extra weeks:https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/ei/ei-list/reports/digest/chapter-1/extend-benefit-period.htmlESDC - EI Monitoring and Assessment Report 2024-25, Chapter 2 (34.4% entitlement exhaustion rate):https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/ei/ei-list/reports/monitoring2025/chapter2.htmlCanada Gazette SOR/2026-64 - 25.4% of unemployed were long-term unemployed in January 2026:https://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2026/2026-04-08/html/sor-dors64-eng.htmlRentals.ca March 2026 Rent Report - Toronto one-bedroom asking rent $2,206:https://rentals.ca/blog/rentals-ca-march-2026-rent-reportStatistics Canada - Experiences of self-employed workers in Canada, 2023:https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/240603/dq240603b-eng.htmCanada Employment Insurance Commission - 2026 premium rate and $17.2B Operating Account deficit:https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/ei/ei-list/reports/premium/rates2026.htmlESDC - EI modernization consultations, Phase 2 What We Heard report (2022):https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/news/2022/09/government-of-canada-releases-report-on-phase-2-of-the-employment-insurance-modernization-consultations.htmlIRPP - Canada's EI Is Once Again Failing Its Stress Test (benefit exhaustion as the coverage driver):https://irpp.org/research-studies/ei-failing-stress/C.D.
