1. Registered pension plans are plans established by either employers or unions to provide retirement income to employees. Notes: The data used from Labour Force Survey (labour force and paid workers) are annual averages to which the number of Canadian Forces members was added. Paid workers refer to employees in the public and private sector and include self-employed workers in incorporated business (with and without paid help).
