This paper discusses the Canadian pension system, which consists of a mix of public and private elements and focuses on the reforms made to the public parts of this system. In particular, it examines the changes to the financing of the Canada Pension Plan, a publicly administered, mandatory social insurance program. It concludes with some of the lessons learned from Canada's experience that are relevant for both developing and developed countries seeking to adapt their pension systems to the challenges posed by population ageing.
