Age discrimination and early retirement policies: a comparison of labor market regulation in Canada and the United States

Article Abstract:

A study of the retirement policies in Canada and the US shows that the legal structure in the US allows a shift to a labor-management policy, helping older workers stay in the workforce with greater ease, compared to Canada. The variations in policies exist due to greater stress on communitarianism in Canada, and on individual civil rights in the US. The effect of the policies on respective societies, and ensuing tensions in the labor market are discussed.
