ELDERS EXPECT MORE
The EPC Designation program will improve your options and
give you more control over your business.
Before taking the EPC Designation course, many of
our targeted professions treated the 50+ population in the same way
as they did their younger clients and prospects.
What does the 50+ population expect from you?
Elders appreciate professionals who:
Know the issues and alternatives that are important and
unique to senior life.
Respect their circumstances and confidentiality.
Provide guidance and assistance with the elder’s best interests
in mind.
Accommodate their physical and health challenges such
as illnesses, vision, or hearing impairment, when speaking with
them.
The Elder Planning Counselor designation program is designed with
you in mind. Our goal is to give you the education and tools that
you need to work confidently and profitably within the 50+ age
group.
Any profession who works with elders will be
exposed to the power of having the EPC Designation. Financial
Services Professionals, Real Estate Agents, Doctors, Nurses, Health
Care workers, Care Givers, Nursing & Retirement Home owners or
employees, Social workers as well as Funeral Home Directors are only
some professions and occupations that will benefit from this highly
sought-after Designation.

SOME ELDER FACTS TO CONSIDER
Situation Critical - World Facts
Globally, the number of older persons is growing faster than the
number of people in all younger age groups. By 2030,
older persons will outnumber children under 10 (1.41 billion
versus 1.35 billion). By 2050, there will be
more people aged 60 years or over than adolescents and youth
aged 10-24 years (2.1 billion versus 2.0 billion).
According to data from World Population Prospects: the 2019
Revision, by 2050, one in six people in the world will be over
age 65 (16%), up from one in 11 in 2019 (9%). By 2050, one in
four persons living in Europe and Northern America could be aged
65 or over. In 2018, for the first time in history, persons aged
65 or above outnumbered children under five years of age
globally. The number of persons aged 80 years or over is
projected to triple, from 143 million in 2019 to 426 million in
2050.
The number of persons 60 years and older will grow fastest in
developing countries. Between 2017 and 2050,
the number of persons aged 60 years and over living in
developing regions is expected to more than double from 652
million to 1.7 billion whereas more developed countries will see
an increase from 310 million to 427 million. The number of older
persons is growing fastest in Africa, followed by Latin America
and the Caribbean then Asia. Projections indicate that nearly 80
per cent of the world’s older population will live in the less
developed countries in 2050.
Unsurprisingly, in 2020 worldwide, women have a
high life expectancy than men, as they are
expected to live 85.8 years while men are
expected to live 81.6 years.
In 2017, there were 56 million deaths globally; nearly half of
these (49%) were people who were 70 years or older; 27% were
between 50 and 69 years old; 14% were between 15 and 49; only 1%
were older than 5 and younger than 14; and almost 10% were
children under the age of 5.
The pace of population ageing is accelerating. Today’s
developing countries must adapt much more quickly to ageing
populations than many developed countries but are often at much
lower levels of national income and health and social welfare
infrastructure and capacities, compared to other countries that
developed much earlier. Situation Critical –
Canadian Facts at a Glance
At the turn of the century in Canada, the life
expectancy was only 56 years of age.
In 1952 when the Old Age Security was
introduced, the payout began at Age 70 and paid $40.00 per
month…Life expectancy in 1952 was only 67 years
of age.
Canadian women continue to live longer, but life expectancy for
men remains stagnant for the third straight year, Statistics
Canada reports.
In 2020 according to the world meter Canadian
life expectancy was 84.74 years for women and 81.15 years for
men.
The overall current life expectancy for Canada in 2020 is
82.96 years.
In 2014, over 6 million Canadians were aged 65
or older, representing 15.6 percent of Canada's population.
In 2020, there were 6,835,866
people age 65 and over. By 2030 - in less than
one decade - seniors will number over 9.5 million and make up 23
percent of Canadians
Beginning in 2016, there were more seniors (age 65 and older)
than children (age 14 and under) in Canada. This trend is
expected to continue over the next 50 years.
By 2051, the number of centenarians could reach
nearly 40,000, Currently in 2020 there are 11517 people age 100
or over. The first cohorts of baby boomers, born between 1946
and 1951, will be aged 100 and older by then.
And finally, between March and June 2020, as COVID-19 spread
across the country, Canada saw an estimated 7,576 excess deaths.
That figure refers to deaths that exceed the number that would
normally be expected during any given period of time. Of these
excess deaths, StatCan found that 52 per cent were individuals
age 85 and older, 36 per cent were aged 65-84 and 12 per cent
were younger than 65.
The purpose of providing these numbers are to give you a perspective
on the impact that aging has in Canada and the world, and the need
to have the knowledge to deal with these important issues.
Please note that the previous numbers can change at any time
throughout the year depending on when the stats were taken.
