Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) are part of the suite of government programs designed to encourage youth from traditionally low enrolment groups to consider postsecondary studies as a viable option. Since the mid-2000s, lower- and middle-income parents of children under age 18 have had strong financial incentives from government to open an RESP and make contributions. A previous study based on 2012 data showed that RESP holdings were most prevalent among high-income, high-wealth, and highly-educated parents. The purpose of the current study is to update these findings and to expand the analysis to include results by immigrant status, Indigenous identity, and province of residence.
