Are older workers as useful as younger ones? Support your answer.
(40) VerifiedOlder workers are just as useful as younger workers, since most studies find that productivity does not decline with age, assuming average health and motivation. The amount and rate of any decline in physical or cognitive ability is highly variable. Where there is some decline, it is often compensated for by experience or adaptation. Adaptation varies among individuals at any age and is influenced by such factors as economic necessity, health, family demands, retraining opportunities and support, and the physical demands of the tasks. In short, there are individual differences in work-related skills and motivation among both younger and older workers.
What is the most common and oldest measure of relative poverty in Canada?
(32) VerifiedThe most common and oldest measure of relative poverty in Canada is Statistics Canada's low income cut-offs (LICOs). This measure, which is adjusted annually according to the consumer price index, is based on patterns of family expenditures for food, clothing, and shelter for a given community size and family size. It is not an absolute measure of poverty but, rather, a relative measure of how individuals or subgroups of the population compare at a given time; it identifies those who are less well-off than the average for their family size and within their geographical region.
