The Pensions Canadians Want: Perceptions of Retirement
CPPLC surveyed Canadians on their perceptions of retirement to see how they changed over a six-year period that included the COVID-19 pandemic and a rising cost of living. The findings revealed Canadians had lost confidence in retiring on time and free of debt.
