Document Summary

Income correlates with those three but is not caused by them: canadian seniors can access two government transfer programs, old age security. Almost all canadians older than 65 receive oas, which is an income supplement that averages about a month: guaranteed income supplement. This provides additional funds to low-income seniors who are enrolled in oas and meet certain other requirements. In addition, some seniors have access to their own savings or private pension plans that they enrolled in at work. Activities in late adulthood: many elders complain that they do not have enough time each day to do all they want to do. In light of the benefits, there are four possible explanations as to why more elders are not volunteering: social culture. Many volunteer opportunities are geared toward the young, who are attracted to intense, short- term experiences: organizations. Institutions lack recruitment, training, and implementation strategies for attracting older volunteers: the elderly themselves.
