Greetings,

I am looking for a statistic on percentage (or absolute number) of
people having RRSP accounts in general and self-managed RRSP accounts
as a sub-set study. I am also curious on how those numbers change
throughout years and if there is a tendency.

The second area of interest would be statistic on how many people
have DB (define benefits) plans with their Canadian employers and how
this number is changing throughout years.

Any URL's on described subjects would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Google really is your best friend ...

keywords: rrsp statistics

As http://www.google.com/search?q=rrsp%20statistics

yield good results

including one with the text -

    A recent Statistics Canada report stated that "about 29 percent of all
tax-filers, or 36         percent of those eligible, contributed to RRSPs
last year." But 29 percent isn�t all that     many. Even 36 percent begs the
question: why are so many people not using the RRSP system?     The reason
for the low RRSP usage estimates by Statistics Canada is that the estimates
both     ignore pension contributions, and include tax-filers who shouldn�t
be contributing at all.
