Crystal Ball Report Issued About Aging in Canada

Tue, 05/02/2000 - 11:00pm — Karen Stevenson
Description: 

Canada's National Advisory Council on Aging (NACA)has published a report, "Seniors of Tomorrow" in the current issue of their "Expressions" newsletter. In this "Crystal Ball Issue", they discuss demographic trends, policy issues, health, wealth, and make various reflections and prognostications about aging in Canada. For instance, they discuss retirement, and observe several trends:

Involuntary retirement used to happen when people reached mandatory retirement age, but now it's more likely to result from job loss or caregiving.
Reversing retirement (returning to the work force) is a new trend, more common among men than women.
There may be a trend toward no retirement because of the need to supplement income.
