cost of living: a measure of how affordable basic goods and services are in comparison to the average incomes of citizens

This also measures how affordable it is to maintain a high standard of living.

disposable income: the portion of an individual’s wages that remains after meeting the costs of purchasing basic necessities such as food, clothing, shelter, and health care

This lack of income may be a factor in an individual’s ability to access opportunities such as leisure time and non-essential goods.

Incorporate elements that may represent aspects of prosperity. You may use some of the following elements in the survey questions. Include instructions for responses based on levels of satisfaction (for example, dissatisfied, mostly satisfied, very satisfied).

cost of living
wages
employment
home ownership
access to social services
disposable income
leisure and entertainment
prosperity in Canada
quality of life in Canada

Survey the people in your community. Try to gather responses from people who represent diverse age groups.

Create a graph illustrating the satisfaction of your survey respondents to the different questions. Evaluate the relative satisfaction of Canadians. Create a statement that reflects the information on your graph. You may want to search recent information on Canada's work-life balance to compare Canadian attitudes towards their quality of life.
