Jesse sits down with Kevin Milligan, a Professor of Economics at the Vancouver School of Economics at the University of British Columbia, who also affiliated with the CD Howe Institute and the National Bureau of Economic Research.
They discuss what the baby boomer generation retiring means for Canada's labour market and economy, including healthcare and social services. They discuss what policies have contributed to an outsized exit from the labour market and how Canada could mitigate its effects on both retirees and those still in the labour market.
Possible solutions range from changing retirement incentives, social policy, and immigration.
