People in the United States who are more than sixty years of age are commonly referred to as senior citizens or seniors. These terms refer to people whose stage in life is generally called old age, though there is no precise way to identify the final stage of a normal life span. People are said to be senior citizens when they reach the age of sixty or sixty-five because those are the ages at which most people retire from the workforce. U.S. law and society recognize the special needs of senior citizens. The most important aid to senior citizens is the Social Security program.
In the United States, the standard retirement age is currently 66 (gradually increasing to 67). In Canada, the OAS (Old Age Security) pension is available at 65 (gradually increasing to 67, starting in the years 2023-2029), and the CPP (Canada Pension Plan) as early as age 60. The AARP allows couples in which one spouse has reached the age of 50 to join, regardless of the age of the other spouse.
