High debt. Low wages. No future? Is there an alternative to capitalism?

Students in Ontario pay the highest tuition fees in Canada, face mountains of debt, and hold down low-wage jobs - just to stay in school. Even after graduation, there are hardly any jobs, and even fewer that pay well or are unionized.

Is this the future for students under capitalism? Is there an alternative?

Join us for a one-day conference at York that looks at how capitalism benefits from high student debt and low-wage jobs, and how students can be part of the struggle for free tuition, a living wage, good jobs and a better future.
