1 INTRODUCTIONThe Canadian population is aging at a steady rate, adding thousands of people over the age of 65 to the demographic picture year after year. This segment of the population requires special attention due to their social, emotional, health, and housing needs. The continued growth in the size of the aging population puts pressure on the economy, the healthcare system and the living space of older people. Planners and policymakers must immediately pay attention to this problem, as it will affect all Canadians in the years to come. The aging of the population is indeed a problem for society and could lead to many social and economic difficulties in the future. According to David Foot (2003), professor of economics at the University of Toronto, an effective birth rate of 2.2% compared to the current 1.75% will be necessary to replace the current workforce in the near future and government policy aimed at attracting more immigrants ultimately failed (Foot, 2003, 2). However, some predict that the increasing size of an aging population will spur growth in the home, health care and many other sectors, leading to job creation and economic growth (Marketwire, 2013, 1). The majority of the population believes that the problem will mainly concern health care and economic activity. As humans age, they begin to develop health problems, leading to more visits to a medical clinic, placing additional burden on the healthcare system. To address the problem of aging population, an awareness campaign on health problems that commonly affect older people should be managed by government and non-governmental agencies. In addition, it is necessary to raise awareness among young people about welcoming the elderly; both at home and in the workplace...... middle of paper ......older people in the workplace and at home will improve their mental and social well-being. The aging of the population will affect every citizen of Canada. No citizen wants an increase in taxes; However, if there is no strategy to combat the problems of an aging population, Canadians will see tax increases causing frustration. Implementing these strategies will not only keep older adults happy, but also keep them healthy. The healthier an individual is, the less medical expenses there are, so why not start investing in this project that can save citizens several dollars in taxes. The results obtained in primary research strengthen support for the strategies presented. The majority of participants understand the potential economic and health care problems that an aging population will bring. So, tackling this topic sooner will be beneficial for Canada's future..
