Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600700004
Description: Canada’s population, and consequently its workforce, is aging. While older workers bring valuable experience to firms, they may be less familiar with new technologies and more likely to face chronic health conditions, which can pose challenges for employers. This paper examines the impacts of aging on labour productivity using firm-level measures of workforce aging constructed by Statistics Canada.
