Modernizing Old Age Security frees billions to help people afford the basics. Our plan will eliminate seniors' poverty and grow investments in housing and income security young and working Canadians. Your donation powers the advocacy to make that happen.
Generation Squeeze promotes wellbeing for all generations on issues ranging from housing, to child care, to climate, to retirement.
Right now, our biggest opportunity to make life more affordable for millions of Canadians is fixing Old Age Security (OAS).
OAS is the largest and fastest-growing part of Canada’s income security system. One in every five tax dollars goes to this single program. Yet too many of these dollars deliver help where it isn’t needed.
OAS sends $18K a year to retiree households with incomes of $182K, while 400K seniors live in poverty, young people and renters of any age face crushing housing costs, and middle-income parents are asked to tighten their belts far sooner than retired couples.
Modernizing OAS by beginning to phase out benefits for households with six-figure incomes saves $7 billion. By reinvesting these funds, we can lift every senior out of poverty, build more affordable homes, and ease cost pressures for younger and working Canadians.
Your donation helps our small team keep up the momentum we've built on reforming OAS through data-driven advocacy, media engagement, and negotiations with policymakers. We know from experience that these are the tools that work to change systems. They’ve helped us win billions for things like housing and child care, to make life more affordable at all ages.
