Perspectives on Growing Older in Canada: The 2024 NIA Ageing in Canada Survey

This landmark survey explores the evolving realities of Canadians aged 50+ and provides essential insights into their attitudes, challenges, and experiences.

The survey, now in its third year, reveals critical findings, including:

  • One in three older Canadians (32%) report strong social networks, while 36% experience weak networks, particularly among those in poor health or facing financial struggles.
  • One in three working Canadians aged 50 and older believe they will be able to afford to retire when they want to.
  • Only 48% of Canadians aged 50 and older requiring home care received the services they needed most of the time in 2024, underscoring significant barriers in community-based care.
