Abstract
The growth in precarious employment and an escalating crisis in social reproduction suggest increasing retirement insecurity for Canadians, particularly for those (mainly women) doing unpaid care work over their life cycle. Reforms aimed at redistributing paid work time and the sex/gender division of labour have the most transformative potential.
Keywords: pensions, women, unpaid work, social reproduction
