AnnotationThe future of mandatory retirement is at least partly driven by changing demographics. In Canada, these demographics include slowing population growth growth, rapid ageing, declining rates of labour force participation, and slowing labour force growth. After reviewing the demographic trends and considering alternative scenarios in labour force participation, the authors consider the determinants of early departures from the labour force, and suggest scenarios that might reverse these benefits. With a decline in labour force entrants, delays in early life transitions, and possible reductions in retirement benefits, a trend to retire later would bring mandatory retirement into question.
