University Graduate Debt in Canada in 2006 Dollars, 1990-2006
P. 50More on University Student Debt
1. The amount of average debt has stabilized in recent years, but student aid policy changes are likely to lead to increases in the coming years.
2. There’s a need for additional borrowing not met by government. Thirty-nine per cent of all funds borrowed in 2006 came from financial institutions and family, up from 31 per cent three years earlier.
3. University graduates who plan on pursuing more education had less debt (about $3,200) than those who did not.
4. No apparent relationship between amount of debt and anticipated post-study income.

P. 53More on College Student Debt
1. In 2006 47 per cent of college students who had no debt planned to pursue further post-secondary studies, compared to fewer than 40 per cent of those with debt and 21 per cent of students with more than $30,000 of debt.
2. College debt catching up to university debt?
P. 54Managing Debt: Approaches
1. The “eight per cent rule”: student loan payments should not exceed eight per cent of a graduate’s pre-tax earnings. (The bank’s perspective.)
2. Other approaches – “one size fits all” fits none.
3. Two principles and a conclusion (Schwartz and Baum):
1. Graduates with very low incomes cannot reasonably be expected to meet their repayment obligations.
2. The more a graduate earns, the larger the share of his or her income should be devoted to debt repayment.
3. Those earning lower (but not the very lowest) incomes should be expected to devote between five and ten per cent of pre-tax discretionary income to student loan repayment, with the payment-to-income ratio being capped at 18 to 20 per cent for those earning much higher incomes.
P. 55Conclusion
