Aging Canada 2040

CSA Policy Pathways Conference
May 13, 2025 | Toronto, Ontario

Aging Canada 2040

Canada’s aging population is one of the most significant and far-reaching challenges facing policymakers. By 2040, 22.7% of Canadians will be over the age of 65, bringing profound changes to our social, economic, and healthcare systems.

This shift, driven by increased life expectancy and declining fertility rates, demands innovative policies and collaborative efforts to protect the well-being of older Canadians and the sustainability of Canada’s social and economic fabric.

Building on insights from CSA Public Policy Centre’s report, Aging Canada 2040: Policy Implications of Demographic Change, and our inaugural Policy Pathways conference, Advancing Canadian Health Care, this event will bring together leading experts to explore the future of aging through a multidisciplinary lens and an interactive workshop exploring how to shape today’s policies and practices to support the future of aging in Canada.

Discussions will focus on:

  • Helping improve the health and well-being of Canadians as they age
  • Canada’s economic outlook, labour market challenges, and impacts of emerging technologies
  • Balancing the unique needs of older and younger generations in areas such as housing
