All In: Pathways to Economic and Financial Inclusion for Canada By Gayathri Shukla, PPF’s TD Fellow for Economic and Financial Inclusion June 7, 2022

Phase two will lay the foundation for that outcome by identifying current definitions of economic and financial inclusion, as well as refining existing measures and indicators that private and public sector entities can use to assess the impact of their own contributions to financial and economic inclusion. [...] Phase two will also leverage creative storytelling techniques to highlight and deepen understanding of the ways in which systemic and specific issues impact marginalized people in Canada and how these barriers restrict their equitable access to the labour market and opportunities to build wealth. [...] Research Elements - Definitions and indicators: The initiative will outline clear definitions of economic and financial inclusion together with indicators that will enable measurement and assessment of private and public sector entities’ contributions to economic and financial inclusion. [...] - Profile Journeys: The output of the focus group interviews will be combined with the research scan to establish a set of illustrative pan-Canadian example profiles that spotlight how the target demographic experience financial and economic inclusion or exclusion in their education, employment, and leadership advancement journeys. [...] The website will also serve to inform the third and final stage of PPF’s All In initiative, in which recommendations to remove the identified barriers will be workshopped with input from across Canada and ultimately, incorporated into the website.
