- Articles and reports: 75-001-X201100111402Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines four distinct states of retirement among older Canadians: fully retired; partially retired; previously retired but returned to work; and never retired. Using the 2009 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) Healthy Aging, it presents the socio-economic characteristics of each group, and discusses their differing work patterns and health.
Release date: 2011-01-31 - 2. Eldercare: What we know today ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X200800210689Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using data from the 2007 General Social Survey, this article investigates new national level data on caregiving. It is well established that family and friends provide care to ailing seniors. Focusing on caregivers aged 45 and over, the article examines whether family and friend care differs by the type of health problem the senior has (be it physical or mental), or whether the care was provided to a senior living in a private household or care facility. We also look at who provides care to seniors, which tasks are provided and how often, how caregivers cope, and where they turn in order to seek support. Included is a profile of the seniors 65 years and over with a long-term health problem who were receiving care from these caregivers.
Release date: 2008-10-21 - 3. A Portrait of Seniors in Canada ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 89-519-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
This report depicts the demographic characteristics, health and wellness, living arrangements, social networks and social participation, security from crime and victimization, work patterns and related activities, income and expenditures, and lifestyles of the population aged 65 and over. It examines many of these issues, where data allow, in terms of different age groups within the senior population, for example those aged 65 to 74 and those aged 85 and over. Information are also presented for individuals in the 55 to 64 age range.
The report also includes a chapter on Aboriginal seniors and a chapter on immigrant seniors.
It presents the most comprehensive statistical picture of the situation of Canada's senior population with data drawn from a wide array of sources including the census, as well as other surveys such as the National Population Health Survey, General Social Survey, Canadian Community Health Survey, and Survey of Labour and Income dynamics.
Release date: 2007-02-27 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X20040037731Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article explores whether those who are forced to retire have had adequate opportunity to prepare for retirement, either financially or psychologically. It uses new information from the 2002 General Social Survey (GSS) to examine the match between the retirement preferences and experiences of people who retired during the period from 1992 to 2002.
Release date: 2004-12-07 - 5. Retaining older workers ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200411013129Geography: CanadaDescription:
As a large number of people near the traditional retirement age, what are the social and economic consequences of a mass exit from the labour force? Would older workers remain on the job if mandatory retirement policies were eliminated or if, for example, incentives such as part-time work or more vacation leave were offered?
Release date: 2004-10-26 - 6. Canada's Workforce: Unpaid Work, 2001 Census ArchivedTable: 97F0013XDescription:
The tables under the topic "Canada's Workforce: Unpaid Work" present data on the unpaid work of the Canadian workforce, including unpaid household work, unpaid child care, and unpaid senior care. These data, together with information on paid work, provide a more complete picture of the work activities of all Canadians.
This information can be used to study that part of the population whose main activity is unpaid household work; to analyze the division of household work between men and women; to better understand the contribution of men and women to the economy; to evaluate the capacity of the unpaid sector to absorb care-giving responsibilities no longer provided by the paid sector; and to analyze how workers balance their job and household responsibilities.
