“…In addition, Schirle's study also found that population aging would lead to a decline in labor market participation rates, particularly among older workers. The author suggested that the government adopt policies that promote the older workers and maintain a balance taxation between and the provision of social benefits, such as pensions [9]. Schirle examined the impact of population aging on labor market participation rates in Canada and found that population aging would lead to a decline in labor market participation rates, particularly among older workers.…”

Canada is a country with an aging population, especially in cities with small populations, such as Winnipeg and Yukon. The aging population trend is a double-edged sword, as it has both benefits and drawbacks. The downside is that it leads to a number of economic problems, including a reduced workforce and increased health care costs, while the upside is that it can boost demand for specific services, such as nursing homes and hospitals. Specifically, the paper aims to examine the factors that contribute to Canada's aging population trend and its effect on the workforce in these cities, including the retirement of baby boomers and declining birth rates. Also, it investigated the economic implications of an aging population, such as reduced labor supply and increased healthcare and insurance costs. Additionally, assessing the impact of population aging on these urban emerging industries and identifying potential policy solutions to mitigate the negative economic impact of population aging are presented in detail to provide readers with a clear framework. It can be inferred that the aging population trend in Canada is a complex issue that has both benefits and drawbacks. While it may boost demand for specific services, such as nursing homes and hospitals, it can also lead to a decline in the labor supply, increased healthcare costs, and challenges for emerging industries in smaller cities. It is important to study the impact of Canada's aging population trends on the economy to inform policy decisions aimed at promoting economic growth and stability in the face of demographic change.

“…Výsledky potvrzují závěry předchozích výzkumů, že zdraví má významný pozitivní efekt na participaci mužů i žen na trhu práce. Bissonnette et al (2016) dochází k obdobným závěrům na příkladu 7 milionů obyvatel kanadské provincie Quebec. Posílení fyzického a mentálního zdraví jedinců fi guruje jako jedno z doporučení pro Českou republiku ve studii OECD (2017), a to na základě analýzy z let 2007-2017.…”

Selected Determinants of Employment of Persons in Post Productive Age on Labour Market in Czech Republic and SlovakiaPension systems are strained with negative impacts on the state budget as a consequence of the endangering trend of worsening demographic structure and population aging. The aim of this paper is to map trends of employment rates of persons 65-69 years old in the Czech Republic and Slovakia between 1998 and 2017 and to analyse selected determinants affecting these rates. These determinants are then subjected to statistical and regression analysis using panel data for the period 1998-2017. Based on the analysis results, the authors come to three conclusions for both countries: firstly, the increase in pensions is not a limiting factor in the employment of persons aged 65-69; secondly, the participation of persons with tertiary education is of great relevance, implying the need for support to tertiary education; thirdly, the results confirmed the significance of the health determinant of persons aged 65-69, ensuing the need for stimulating investment in health.

Light Rail Transit and Property Values in Kitchener–Waterloo

The impact of announcements about a future light rail transit (LRT) system on residential property prices in Kitchener–Waterloo, Ontario, is measured. Condominiums with better access to a future LRT station are more valuable both before and after the announcements studied. There is only weak evidence that the LRT-related announcements increased the relative value of condominiums or houses with better access to future LRT stations. The small impact of LRT announcements on the value of property suggests low private net benefits of the future LRT and is consistent with very low rates of transit use in Kitchener–Waterloo.
