Survey of Older Workers (SOW)
Enquête sur les travailleurs âgés (ETA)

Description

The Survey of Older Workers is sponsored by the Labour Market Policy
branch of Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC). The
survey is designed to assess the labour market intentions and
transitions of older Canadians. The subject matter is intended to
identify "factors" that influence the decision to retire or remain
working. In this context pensions, general finances, the role of
dependents, the nature of work, health considerations etc., will be of
primary concern in trying to understand workers intentions and
motivations.
