1. Intergenerational considerations of Workers' Compensation unfunded liabilities Archived
Table: 68-513-X19970013564
Description:
Canada's workers' compensation systems are financed through a payroll tax with the cost initially falling on employers. The rates that employers pay are supposed to reflect the costs of current and future medical and vocational rehabilitation, and financial compensation associated with workplace injuries, as well as the costs of administering the system.
Release date: 1998-02-04
2. Historical generational accounting with heterogeneous populations Archived
Table: 68-513-X19970013569
Description:
The intergenerational fairness and long-term sustainability of Canada's social programs, such as pensions and health care, have recently re-emerged as an issue. The last time this issue had any prominence was more than a decade ago, as part of Canada's "great pension debate" of the late 1970s and early 1980s. As before, the issue is being driven by concerns over population aging.
