The Canadian Real Estate InvestorCanada's Lost Decade
We explore Canada's economic stagnation, drawing parallels to Japan's "Lost Decade" of the 1990s. Canada is experiencing its own version of a lost decade with declining productivity (falling for 13 straight quarters despite an educated workforce), stagnant per capita wealth (producing no more wealth per person than in 2014), overreliance on real estate for economic growth (accounting for over 20% of GDP), lack of business investment in productivity-enhancing capital, rising household debt (101.2% of nominal GDP) with stagnant income growth, and housing shortages amid rapid population growth (creating a "population trap"). The hosts warn that conventional economic remedies may be insufficient, as demonstrated by Japan's decades-long stagnation despite trying various policy approaches.
