As the population gets older, so does the workforce. In 2001, the baby boom generation, then aged 37 to 55, comprised almost half (47%) of Canada's workforce. Gradually, baby boomers are moving towards retirement, in the health sector and elsewhere. New studies are beginning to explore the timing, magnitude, and impact of the coming wave of retirements. Policy-makers are also taking note. For example, some provinces, such as Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick, are considering banning mandatory retirement at age 65. Like people in other occupations that require significant education or experience, health professionals tend to be older, on average, than the workforce as a whole. Across all health occupations, the average age in 2002 was 41.2 years. That compares with 39 years overall.
