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...

US. Working in Retirement? Here’s Why It’s Great — and Why It’s Really Not

For others, it's the time to do absolutely nothing after working for decades. And for other people, it could mean continuing to work, just at their own discretion. There are no rules about the right way to retire. So if you somehow find yourself working during retirement, it's not...

‘How do you grow an economy without young people?’: What falling birth rates mean

Falling birth rates across nearly all the developed world – and now much of the developing world – have demographers like Paul Morland concerned. While the planet as a whole is projected to be home to 9.8 billion people by 2050 – up from 7.96 billion today – a vast number of countries, from within Europe to South-East Asia to the Americas, are dealing with decades of sub-replacement fertility, which means a total fertility rate (TFR) below the 2.1...
