Episode description

The Hoyes Michalos 2020 Bankruptcy Study revealed that for the first time in four years insolvencies shifted back to an older demographic. The share of insolvencies among those 50 and older increased from 28% in 2019 to over 30% post-lockdown, while the share among younger generations declined. How did this happen? On today’s podcast, Ted Michalos and Doug Hoyes discuss how the pandemic changed insolvency trends, including who is filing bankruptcy, and what the numbers might mean to you. Tune in!
