Abstract
This paper provides a discussion of general issues and debates associated with population aging in Canada, using a framework that focuses upon: historical and present-day tensions regarding the principles underlying social policies, and between economic and social policies; the salience of gender to social policy; and the relevance of social policy challenges to persons of all ages in an aging population. Four policy issues regarding the aged are discussed: criteria for resource allocation, service delivery, models of care, and workplace policies. Selected social policy issues related to an aging society are examined, including intergenerational equity/economics of aging, demographie policies, child care policy, and informal care-giving.
