Money from family and friends Receiving money from family and/or friends was linked to youth’s age, education, age they first left home, and whether they were Indigenous. With respect to education, 48.8% of youth who obtained money from family or friends had less than a grade 9 education. On the other hand, among youth who had some post-secondary education, 33.3% obtained money from inter-personal networks. <strong>The</strong> age at which a young person left home was strongly related to this income source. Findings indicated that 56% of youth who left home before they were 13 received money from family and friends, compared to 33.3% who left home after they were 20. Two other variables were also linked to this income source: age and Indigenous status. Indigenous youth and young youth were both more likely to obtain money from friends and family than older youth and non-Indigenous youth.
