Canadians are delaying retirement

From Statistics Canada: Delayed retirement: A new trend?

"The percentage of workers 55 and over declined slowly until the mid-1990s and then rose sharply in the early 2000s. In 2010, more than 1 in 6 workers was 55 or over.' (p. 6)

Social justice in the OECD

From Bertelsmann Stiftung: Social Justice in the OECD – How Do Member States Compare?

"A cross-national comparison of social justice in the OECD shows considerable variation in the extent to which this principle is developed in these market-based democracies. According to the methodology applied in this study, Iceland and Norway are the most socially just countries... Canada (9) is the top performer among the non-European OECD states. Its high ranking can be attributed to strong results in the areas of education, labor market justice and social cohesion."
