The media says you should be worried about your pension, the banks and financial advisors say Canadians aren't saving enough for their retirement, and Ottawa says drastic cuts to the Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security lie ahead. Is the future sounding a little ominous? In the face of all this negativity, just what are you supposed to do?
Pension experts Robert Drummond and Chris Roberts have nothing to sell, and they aren't trying to undermine government programs. This means they can provide unbiased and reliable advice, which is what they do in this no-holds-barred book.
ROBERT DRUMMOND is Professor of Political Science and Public Policy and Administration at York University, specializing in Canadian politics and policy for an aging society. He is a former Dean of the Faculty of Arts and will retire from the University in July 2012.
CHRIS ROBERTS holds the title of Senior Researcher in the Canadian Labour Congress's Social and Economic Policy Department, where he works on pension, immigration policy, and other issues.
