Translation of "ageing factor " (English → French) :

(4) For the purposes of the definition “minimum amount” in subsection 146.3(1) of the Act and subsection 8506(5), the prescribed factor in respect of an individual for a year in connection with a retirement income fund (other than a fund that was a qualifying retirement income fund at the beginning of the year) or the designated factor in respect of an individual for a year in connection with an account under a money purchase provision of a registered pension plan, as the case may be, is the factor, determined in accordance with the following table, that corresponds to the age in whole years (in the table referred to as “Y”) attained by ...[+++] the individual at the beginning of the year or that would have been so attained by the individual if the individual was alive at the beginning of the year.

Here, I should point out that the victim's age is not, in itself, an aggravating factor, since age is not a vulnerability factor.

Supporting healthy ageing means both promoting health throughout the lifespan, aiming to prevent health problems and disabilities from an early age, and tackling inequities in health linked to social, economic and environmental factors.

Furthermore, other factors such as the ageing of the population or unemployment among young people also enter into play; for instance, the number of Europeans of at least 65 years of age will increase by 65 % by 2050, whereas the working population (15 to 64 years) will decrease by 20 %.

(3) The Joint Report by the Commission and the Council on "increasing labour participation and promoting active ageing" (March 2002) made a strong plea for a preventive and lifecycle approach in the framework of a comprehensive and integrated strategy to tackle the challenge of ageing populations and looked at all factors enabling people to enter the labour market and workers to remain longer at work.

But what's clear, in terms of that dependency ratio and the age structure, is given the significant impact immigration has on growth in the labour market, certainly when you look at supporting that aging population, immigration is a factor—not the only factor, but clearly a factor—we have to look at when looking at the demographic future.
