- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202400400002Description: Many seniors work past their mid-60s for various reasons. Some find it necessary to keep working because of inadequate retirement savings, mortgage payments, unforeseen expenses, or the responsibility to support children and other family members in Canada or abroad. Others choose to work to provide a sense of personal fulfillment, stay active and remain engaged. This article uses data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and examines the degree to which Canadian-born and immigrant seniors aged 65 to 74 worked by choice or necessity in 2022.Release date: 2024-04-24

Release date: 2019-12-03 - 3. The contribution of immigration to the size and ethnocultural diversity of future cohorts of seniors ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-006-X201600114345Description:

Release date: 2015-04-14 - 5. Seniors returning to Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X201200111618Geography: CanadaDescription:
The age and other characteristics of emigrants who return to Canada may have social and economic implications - particularly with respect to transfer programs for seniors. This study uses census data to address several questions related to Canadian residents who previously emigrated to other countries: Do seniors account for a large proportion of returned emigrants? From where do older emigrants return? Do the characteristics of older returned emigrants differ from those of older Canadians who did not live abroad? Do the amounts and sources of income received in old age differ between these groups? How do all these results differ for the Canadian-born versus immigrant returnees?
Release date: 2012-01-30 - Table: 97-563-X2006047Description:
Data for Canada, provinces, territories, census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations are shown in this table.
This table is part of the topic 'Income and earnings,' which presents data on the income of Canadian individuals, families, and households in the year 2005, including the composition of income, and data that serve to measure low income, known as the low income cut-off (LICO). The data also include the household incomes of Canadians by family type, age, and geography, as well as the household incomes of certain population groups (e.g., immigrants).
The composition of income includes earnings, income from government sources, and investments.

Release date: 2008-09-30 - 7. 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 - 8. Living Arrangements and Residential Overcrowding: The Situation of Older Immigrants in Canada, 1991 ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M1998115Geography: CanadaDescription:
Older immigrants arriving in Canada are not eligible for government transfer payments or welfare benefits for up to 10 years. Consequently, many of them choose to live with their relatives or sponsors in crowded three or more generation households. Cultural preferences also influence this tendency. The propensity for immigrant groups from developing regions to live in three or more generation households ranges up to 18 times those of their Canadian-born and the immigrant counterparts from the developed regions. The average income, percent receiving Old Age Security payments, percent widowed and duration of residence in Canada are significantly associated with proportions of immigrants living in such arrangements, and explain about 84% of birthplace variation for males and 81% for females.
