Canada’s Ageing Population: Why Federal Leadership Is Needed Now
Canada has recently joined the ranks of countries like Japan, Italy and Greece in becoming a “super-aged” nation. Today, one in five Canadians is aged 65 and older. By 2030, that will grow to nearly one in four.
In many ways, this is a milestone to celebrate as Canadians are living longer than ever before. At the same time, an ageing population has impacts on every part of our economy and society, from health care to housing, pensions, labour markets, digital access and social wellbeing.
