from the Canadian Association of Retired People
The right to work and remain engaged is under threat for many older Canadians. Systemic and informal ageism pressures older workers to "make room" for upcoming employees, despite the benefits of their experience, skills, and contributions to society. Government and employers have created barriers to continued employment based on negative attitudes and ageist practices towards older workers.
