Footnotes (Working Life / Life Expectancy):

  1. Working life expectancy is defined as the "statistically average remaining years of participation in the labour force for a person of a given age and demographic characteristics" [Source: H. Richards and J.R. Abele, Life and Worklife Expectancies (Tucson, Arizona: Lawyers & Judges Publishing Col, 1999)].
  2. Education level only influences the working life expectancy estimates, not the life expectancy estimates, as Canada does not currently produce life expectancy estimates by education level.
  3. "Modified Work Life Expectancy Table", created by Statistics Canada from their Survey of Labour Income and Dynamics (SLID) 1996-97 database, and published and interpreted for use in C.L. Brown, Damages: Estimating Pecuniary Loss loose-leaf (Aurora, Ontario: Canada Law Book), 2005, section 4.3.a. (page 4-72) and appendices 4-1 through to 4-5.
  4. Tabulated from Statistics Canada's Life Tables, Canada, Provinces and Territories, 2000 to 2002, Tables 2a & 2b.
