Canada's baby boomers are mostly past retirement age. 75%, to be exact. But they have not yet begun to cross the country's average life expectancy of about 82 years.
The number of baby boomers living in Canada is still about 90% of its mid-2000s peak, and the oldest boomers are only 80. At current death rates, half of those who reach 65 will die by age 86. The oldest boomers reach that age in 2032, and the generation's biggest single-year cohorts only around 2049.
