From income to loneliness, how gender ‘profoundly’ shapes the experience of aging in Canada
While older women are living longer than men in Canada, many women report aging with greater financial insecurity, loneliness and exposure to ageism.
Those findings come from a new report by the National Institute on Ageing, which was based on a survey of more than 6,000 Canadians aged 50 and older.
“Gender profoundly shapes the experience of growing older,” states the new report, which was released in partnership with the International Longevity Centre for Canada.
