- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600700004Description: 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.Release date: 2026-07-22
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202600700002Description: Canada’s population is aging rapidly, with implications for the health care system, including increasing demand for specialist care. However, few studies have examined factors associated with specialist care use. Data from the 2024 Survey on Health Care Access and Experiences – Primary and Specialist Care were used in this study to identify factors associated with specialist care use, difficulty accessing specialist care, and to examine the relationship between access difficulties and unmet health care needs among middle-aged (45 to 64 years) and older (65 years or older) adults in Canada.Release date: 2026-07-15
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600600004Description: Canada’s workforce is aging.

- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202501200002Description: An increasing number of Canadians are living with mental health problems, including mood disorders.

This study addresses this gap by examining the prevalence and correlates of mood disorders among older Canadians (65 years or older).Release date: 2025-12-17
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202501100002Description: How far adult children live from their aging parents can shape family support, caregiving, and job choices. But most data focus on people living in the same home—like with their parents—and rarely track them across long periods, missing key moments when they move out or return to help, or receive grandparent help from, an aging parent. A new article, entitled “Geographic proximity between adult children and their parents in Canada: The role of childhood parental income,” addresses these issues. This summary provides many of the main takeaways from the article and a more focused look at differences across provinces.Release date: 2025-11-26

- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500700002Description: Most older Canadians would prefer to stay in their own homes and communities rather than move to long-term care (LTC) facilities. A growing older population, limited LTC capacity, and costs have increased demand for initiatives that enable people to age in their communities for as long as possible. Using data from the 2019/2020 Canadian Health Survey on Seniors, this study examined the use of four types of supports and services—home adaptations, informal care, home care, and community support services—among community-dwelling Canadians aged 65 or older.Release date: 2025-07-16
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500500002Description: The population aged 85 and older is one of the fastest-growing age groups. Previous studies have identified several factors associated with unmet home care needs, including living arrangements, education, income, access to a regular medical doctor, chronic conditions, health status, and functional limitations. However, less is known about the extent to which unmet home care needs vary across the health and care-receiving profiles of the oldest-old Canadians. This study aims to enhance the understanding of the heterogeneity among the community-dwelling population aged 85 years and older in Canada.Release date: 2025-05-21

- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500100004Description: While a large body of research has identified several correlates of employee turnover, little is currently known regarding the degree to which employees who work in community care facilities for the elderly leave the nursing and residential care facilities subsector or the health care and social assistance sector in a given year. This study fills this information gap using data from the 2016 Census of Population integrated with Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Worker File. Sample size limitations restricted the focus of the study to women, who represent the vast majority of employees who work in seniors’ homes.Release date: 2025-01-22

In this context pensions, general finances, the role of dependents, the nature of work, health considerations etc., will be of primary concern in trying to understand workers' intentions and motivations.
Release date: 2010-11-15 - 4. New Frontiers of Research on Retirement ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 75-511-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
This book is designed to contribute to the foundation of basic information that leaders and researchers will need when they begin to devote much more time and resources to the institutional adjustments that the up-coming wave of retirements among baby boomers will require. Its contents deal with aspects of retirement that have been outside the main focus in the research literature, but which will likely receive much greater attention in the future. These aspects include social issues arising from the emergence of a large number of people who form a substantial proportion of the adult population and whose length of time in retirement will be as long as that of a generation, roughly 25 years; women's retirement; family dynamics and retirement; and retirement processes among people with no career job as conventionally defined. A large part of the book is devoted to scientific papers that are based upon Statistics Canada's data and which require substantial innovations of useful concepts and data series that serve to illustrate the potentials of our data.
