This study concerns the age of retirement and the so-called old age security program. Obviously, some people are poor before the age of 65, and you may think of measures to address that if you want to help them. However we're now discussing a universal program that would guarantee a basic income for seniors and that's clearly inadequate.
What happens to seniors who have barely a few dollars more than the $21,160 they receive every year? They can't even access the guaranteed income supplement. They live in a state of poverty. You can't go very far these days living on those annual amounts.
