- 1. Post-retirement employment ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200510913150Geography: CanadaDescription:
The likelihood of returning to paid employment after retirement is influenced by various factors. Although most retirees rejoin the workforce for financial reasons, non-financial considerations are also important. Many in the study who worked full time prior to retirement chose to return on a part-time basis - over one-third of the men and more than half of the women.
Release date: 2005-12-22 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X20050038965Geography: CanadaDescription:
Young adults are often viewed as uninterested in political activity. This article outlines the extent of political engagement among young adults in their 20s, as measured by traditional (voting) and alternative (non-voting) political participation. It then examines some of the links between young adults' selected characteristics and their political behaviours such as voting, signing petitions, boycotting certain products, attending public meetings or participating in demonstrations.
Release date: 2005-12-06 - 3. What do seniors spend on housing? ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20050028451Geography: CanadaDescription:
Age brings limitations that affect where, how and with whom people live. One of the concerns that seniors may face is affordable housing. This may be a particular concern for those seniors who lose a spouse and are faced with reduced household income while shelter costs remain unchanged. Using data from the 2001 Census of Population and the 2002 General Social Survey (GSS), this article looks at who seniors live with and the affordability of their homes.
Release date: 2005-09-13 - 4. Preparing for retirement ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20050028452Geography: CanadaDescription:
Settling into retirement involves changes in many aspects of a person's life. Certainly financial adjustments are involved as employment income is replaced by retirement income and spending patterns are altered. People often find they have to make psychological and social adjustments as well. In light of these substantial transformations in lifestyle, retirement counsellors are increasingly encouraging older workers to prepare just as carefully for the non-financial as the financial challenges of retirement. This article draws on the 2002 General Social Survey (GSS) to examine four specific non-financial preparations made prior to leaving the labour force by Canadians who had retired in the previous 10 years (1992 to 2002).
Release date: 2005-09-13 - 5. What makes retirement enjoyable? ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20050028453Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using data from the 2002 General Social Survey (GSS), this article looks at recent retirees (individuals who retired during the preceding decade and were at least 50 years old when they did so) and their enjoyment of life before and after retirement. A statistical model explores the relationship between enjoyment of retired life and specific individual characteristics (for example, marital status, health and financial wellbeing) while holding the effects of other characteristics constant.
Release date: 2005-09-13 - 6. The sandwich generation ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20050017033Geography: CanadaDescription:
Delayed marriage, postponement of children, and adults with increasingly long-lived parents have given rise to the 'sandwich generation'. These are individuals caught between the often conflicting demands of caring for children and caring for seniors. Although still relatively small (712,000 in 2002), the ranks of the sandwich generation are likely to grow.
