This course provides students with a fundamental understanding of a variety of key
economic issues and practices, helping them develop their ability to make informed
economic choices in their day-to-day lives. Students will examine practical financial
matters, such as personal budgeting, taxes, credit and debt, and savings and investment,
as well as various economic issues, such as those related to the underground economy,
economic inequality, and consumer behaviour. Students will apply the concepts of economic
thinking, the economic inquiry process, and economic models to investigate various
economic issues and structures and to analyse the impact of economic decisions, including
their own decisions, at the individual, community, and national levels. Prerequisite: Canadian History since World War I, Grade 10, Academic or Applied,
