Though Canada has an increasingly aging population, most of them are not financially ready for retirement, according to a report from the National Institute on Aging at Ryerson University, released on February 11. It shows that only 6.2 million of the approximately 19 million of the working class have a company pension. Canadians who enter retirement with one and other plans such as the Federal pension and Old Age Security, have an average income of $55,400, compared to $31,400 for those without a company plan.
