A Survey On Projecting Canada Population Growth

The United States is the third most populated country in the world. This country holds about 4.5% of the world’s population. The U.S. population is currently estimated to have 308.7 million persons. This number is more than double of the population from 1950. Besides the fact of the population has doubled its size, the population has also become qualitatively different from the one from 1950. As noted by the Population Reference Bureau, “The U.S. is getting bigger, older, and more diverse.” The growth of the population is the result of the trends over time in the relationship of increased births, decreased deaths, and increased net immigration.

a) The Canadian population is still growing despite its low birth rate because of a few factors. Canada is a developed country, with advances in public sanitation, medicine, and public health. All of which give Canada a low mortality rate. Immigration also plays a big part in Canada’s population growth, as Canada is considered by many to be the most multi-cultural country in the world.

The world's population is growing and more resources are used up at a rapid pace and the rate of consumption only grows. Canada's population is constantly growing, also the population of immigrants moving in and the number of people multiplies. Canada's population is 36,260,553 currently, it is a big number of people, however, it is only a small percentage in the world where natural resources is abundance and we take that for granted. What many people

Toronto CMA consists of 27 municipalities divided into four types: central city, inner suburb, outer suburb and rural fringe. Based on the census results available at Statcan from 1961 to 2006, data are

David Foot, a Canadian demographer puts forward some economic prediction in the aspect of demographics in his recent research. He states his opinion that which countries will success and which countries will be in trouble in the next 20 years are predictable, based on the number of old and young people they have. An adequate amount of young people who are ready to work is the key for economies growth. Lack of enough young people to work will result in underproduction, while too many of them will lead to youth unemployment and unrest. In the article “Is Canada Headed for Demographic Disaster,” the author Diane Francis makes some predictions based on demographics. Countries such as Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Egypt are in danger since their birth

By not being influenced or controlled by any other power comes independence, what creates pride, strength and eventually a nation. Canada’s independence from the British Empire was created on July 1st, 1867 but it wasn't until future pivotal events that proved Canada's independence as a country, These significant events and acts that created Canada's coming of age were the battle of Vimy Ridge during WW1 that was successful single handedly by the Canadians, Operation Overlord, where Canadian troops proved the most successful in taking control across D-day, and Canada being seated in the League Of Nations and later the United Nations, proving itself to not only be equal but well respected by many nations.

Canada’s birth rates are below replacement levels and its population is aging, causing a significant drop in labour force growth over the long term. By 2030, nearly one out of every four Canadians will be 65 years or older. Moreover,

The article “The Growth of Poverty and Social Inequality: Losing Faith in Social Justice” by Ann Duffy and Nancy Mandell displayed many important facts about poverty in Canada. I believe the most important information I got from this article is how intersectionality largely effects poverty in Canada. From children to women to disabled, the article showed how each group is more affected by poverty than their counter parts. I believe it is important to acknowledge the different groups and how poverty affects them separately, as well as how poverty affects them when they are intersected.

Currently, Canada has begun to slowly regain economic growth since the financial crisis and oil price decline (Lane 2015). To help increase economic growth the Bank of Canada has been providing a monetary stimulus (Lane 2015). The monetary stimulus has not helped to reach the point where the Canadian economy growth is self-sustaining. For the Canadian economy to reach self-sustaining growth it is important that the source of growth will have shift from consumption to an increase in exports. As you mentioned before, it is important for a policy to be introduced that helps increase the amount of investment. In addition, Canada needs to also implement a policy that will help increase exports.

“In 1971, there were nine people aged 15-64 in Quebec, compared to one person over 65. By 2013, the ratio had dropped from 9 to 1 to 4 to 1. By 2050, it will be 2 to 1.”(Simpson, 2014). Quebec’s greatest restrain is its lack in population growth. Due to its aging population and low replacement rate. Meaning we have a population that does not have enough people to replace those dying. But, also to a low acceptance of immigration due to its many red tape and laws. This has a great impact on future government expenditure and to the future of productivity due to a shortage of labour.

Canada, or the Great White North, currently houses a population of 36 million people. This number grows every year by 1.2%, a good rate for many developed countries. However, according to Statistics Canada, the contribution of natural increase to population growth in Canada would diminish by 2037, resulting in a lower rate. But, how does this affect Canada? What are the issues caused by a low PGR?

In the year ending 31 December 2009, Australia's estimated resident population (ERP) had increased by 433,000 people to 22.2 million, a 2.0% increase from December 2008. This followed growth of 460,000 people (or 2.2%) between December 2007 and December 2008. The rate of population growth has become considerably faster since the mid-2000s. Over the two decades prior to 2006, the annual growth rate had averaged 1.3%, adding an average of 234,000 people per year in that period. The recent growth rate of around 2% per year is faster than at any other time in the past several decades, and faster than nearly all other developed countries.

The reason behind the aging of the Canadian population can be related to three important factors. The first one is the Baby Boom Generation; these people are born between 1946 to 1966.The eldest of these population are approaching their retirement, it created a surge in the total number of aged people in Canada. The second important factor is the new life style that is present in Canada, most people postpone their marriage and many of them are not interested to start a family life.

Demography is the study of the components of population variation and change. Death rate and birth rate are two determinants of population change. Theory of Demographic Transition is comparatively recent theory that has been accepted by several scholars throughout the world. This theory embraces the observation that all countries in the world go through different stages in the growth of population. A nation's economy and level of development is directly related to that nation's birth and death rates. Population history can be divided into different stages. Some of the scholars have divided it into three and some scholars have divided it into five stages. These stages or classifications demonstrate a
