Long-term disability claims from younger employees mostly related to mental health, RBC says

has found that nearly half of long-term disability claims among younger employees in 2021 were related to mental health issues.

Among RBC Insurance group plan members, the organization reported that 49 per cent new group long-term disability claims for younger employees between the ages of 18 and 35 were related to mental health, which RBC noted is trending upward since 2019. Julie Gaudry, head of group benefits at RBC Insurance, said it's no surprise that employees are prioritizing their health given the "challenging and unpredictable year for so many working Canadians."

RBC also found that 68 per cent of Canadians polled would take a job with a good benefits plan over another job that pays more, but does not offer benefits.
