What is the economic impact of a person not in the labour force having no children?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Lussier v. Lussier, 1999 CanLII 6058 (BC SC):

In Moge v. Moge, [1993] 1 W.W.W.R. 481 (SCC) a portion of a judgment of Madame Justice L’Heureux Dubé: The financial consequences of the end of a marriage extend beyond the simple loss of future earning power where loss is directly related to the care of children. They will often encompass loss of sonority, missed promotions and lack of access to fringed benefits such as pension plans, life, disability, dental and health insurance. As persons outside of the work force cannot take advantage of job retraining and the upgrading of skills provided by employers. One serious economic consequence of remaining out of the work force is that the value of education and job training often decreases with each year in comparison to those who remain active in the work force and may even become redundant after several years of nonuse. All of these factors contribute to the inability of a person, not in the labour force, to develop economic security for retirement in his or her later years.
