Abstract: Government policymakers should not overlook enhancing RRSPs as a way to boost retirement savings by Canadians, according to a report from the C.D. Howe Institute. In “The Overlooked Option for Boosting Retirement Savings: Higher Limits for RRSPs,” author Alexandre Laurin finds that those who most need private saving to meet their retirement income goals use RRSPs more extensively than widely believed.
