PART 1 Gap Between the Rich and Poor
This section provides insight into the equity gap between those with the highest and those with the lowest incomes. Additionally, it provides context around other things that affect financial security in Mississauga. Labour, food security and housing all play an important role in how financially viable a community member can be. High incomes mean very little if housing costs continue to increase, and the precarious nature of work means that incomes are always under threat. The rising costs of quality food, health and transportation can also negatively affect financial security. 6

PART 2 Getting Started
This section explores how those beginning the next phase of their life in the city are faring. By understanding Mississauga’s immigrant population, youth well-being and the education system, a clearer picture emerges as to the realities of getting started in Mississauga.
Health-wise, Mississauga’s youth are doing quite well right now. They have a high sense of belonging and largely feel mentally healthy. Mississauga’s newcomers are contributing to, and attaining, high levels of education and seem engaged with community in multiple capacities. In fact, most Mississaugans are achieving high levels of education and our youth are graduating high school at above average rates. 16
