Title
A Complex Puzzle : Realities of English-speaking Seniors in Quebec
Abstract
Ideally, we would grow old in good health, maintaining physical and mental well-being and enjoy social inclusion and economic security in a respectful and supportive environment. However, despite strategies to build toward such an ideal in the face of an aging population, public policy and programs at all levels of government largely continue to be shaped by the needs of younger generations. This brief looks at challenges that Quebec’s English-speaking seniors face. It draws on research and policy efforts aimed at understanding and improving the aging experience in the province.
