This is one of a series of OECD country reports which review the main barriers to employment for older people, assess the effectiveness of existing measures to overcome these barriers and make policy recommendations for further action in the light of population ageing trends. This publication focuses on the situation in Canada, where although population ageing is occurring less rapidly than in many other OECD countries, the old-age dependency ratio is projected to rise from 20 per cent in 2004 to just over 45 per cent by 2050.
