Promoting the labour force participation of older Canadians : promising initiatives / Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers Responsible for Seniors.: Em8-47/2018E-PDF
"With proportionally fewer young people moving into the workforce to replace the increasing number of older individuals retiring, population aging has had and will have direct implications on Canada's economy and labour market. Consequently, there is a need to increase the labour force participation of older individuals, and of other groups of Canadians, to support businesses, economic growth and continued improvement in Canada's standard of living. To address the specific workforce challenges facing many older Canadians and to promote their labour force participation, this report highlights the most promising initiatives; these include a multifaceted awareness campaign to address ageism while promoting the benefits of hiring older individuals, funding for targeted training for older individuals, and supporting initiatives that would lead to more flexible work. The initiatives, either in combination with one another or on their own, can have diverse impacts on the labour force participation of older people"--Executive summary, p. 1.
