Does age matter? : law and relationships between generations: discussion paperJL2-23/2003E-PDF

Cover image

This discussion paper questions the use of age as a marker in Canadian legislation, public policies, and programs—to impose responsibilities and to prescribe eligibility to benefits and programs, for example. It asks whether current age distinctions are based on stereotypes about young and old, and whether current age distinctions are outdated or inefficient. It also explores possible alternatives to concepts of age and generations.
