Aging population puts working seniors in the spotlight


Canada's federal, provincial and territorial ministers responsible for seniors have just wrapped up a meeting in Vancouver that B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake says focused mainly on keeping workers on the job past age 65. Lake said the bulk of the talks centred on seniors who wish to stay on the job after the standard retirement age. He says the knowledge and skills of older workers may not be easy to replace and governments should encourage employers to be flexible and add supports for older employees. The ministers also discussed issues such as care givers for seniors, affordable housing and social inclusion.
