Canada. Employment rate at historic high but aging population remains mostly out of work

A new study has found that although the employment rate for Canadians between 15 and 64 years of age (working age) is at a historic high, the overall labor market has yet to fully recover from the pandemic-induced recession due to the continued aging of the country’s population. The study was conducted by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank. The study compares labor statistics for the first five months of 2022 relative to the same period in...

A recent report from the Office for National Statistics paints...

You can withdraw money once a year, as long as there is money in the savings pot. "These amendments aim to encourage members to preserve their retirement savings by making it more flexible to accommodate unforeseen pressures that members face...

Australia is a nation of ‘accidental investors’. Is it time for more scrutiny of the superannuation system?

Margaret Thatcher sought to convert Britain from a nation of shopkeepers to one of shareholders. Compulsory superannuation and low rates – until recently – on traditional bank deposits have converted most Australians into accidental investors. Beginning in the 1980s, retirement arrangements changed from defined benefits (an inflation-indexed pension based on your final salary, paid by employers or government in return for regular contributions) to defined contribution schemes (at retirement you receive your and the employer’s payments, plus investment returns). Today, Australian...
