abstract: 'This article assesses age-based income inequality among employed
Canadians using Canadian Census data over a 15-year period from 1996 to
2011. We show that income inequality has risen for groups of older
workers since 1996 and that incomes have polarized based on level of
education and occupation. More specifically, we find that wages have
stagnated for those with lower levels of education and those not
employed in management or upper-level professional occupations. Few
Canadians experienced noticeable income gains (and this is more
pronounced for men than for women) suggesting that many older workers
have fallen into relative economic hardship since 1996. We argue that
this is because, at least in part, Canadian policies have failed to
adequately consider the dilemma that older workers face when they lose
their jobs in an economy that requires more highly skilled workers now
than was true in the past. We argue that increasing the pension
eligibility age for Old Age Security (OAS) may put older Canadian
workers at heightened risk of experiencing income insecurity. Hence,
changes to OAS must be linked to new labor market and education policy
so that older workers can gain the skills they need to remain in and
compete for well-paying jobs later life.'
