Demographic Changes In Canada

There is diversity among all Canadian, hence there is differences among the aging population. Not all seniors are aging well and have the appropriate programs and services to meet their needs. Some seniors are victims of abuse and some are living in isolation and poverty. Some seniors suffer from chronic illness and other socio-economic factors limit the amount of money they can put away for retirement. Hence these middle and low income elderly retirees will have to depend mainly on the pension plan that is offered between the age of 60- 65. The age of 60-65 is regarded in Canada as the age of retirement. This paper will focus mainly on the disadvantaged older populations. The disadvantaged older populations are those who are currently

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.

While ethnic changes are a clear factor of fluctuating demographics, a factor like gender balance can also be noted. 1961 marked two important events for women in Halifax; the gender ratio was nearly 1:1 at 91,514 females to 92,432 and 34.8% of women were part of the workforce. Certain jobs gained and lost popularity based on necessity after the War. The significant loss of farming jobs will be explored later. A Statistics Canada graph observes a twofold increase in office workers to 400,000 in 1964. The Canadian National Exhibition Place, which was used strictly for military purpose in the early to mid-40s, became a place of amusement and modern architecture for Toronto.

Canada’s society is changing rapidly throughout the years due to the integration of hundreds of thousands of new immigrants. Having this many new immigrants yearly can have a very positive and negative effect on Canada’s demographics. Canada’s natural population growth cannot sustain its economic growth, therefore having new immigrants would be ideal. However, the cost to keep and maintain these immigrants are very high and could lower productivity rates.

Today, in the early 21st century, immigration to Canada is a complicated process that encompasses a very restricted and limited guaranteed entry rate. In fact, being a potential immigration to Canada includes meeting many requirements ranging from education level, languages spoken and present family and economic situation.

Examining population trends can help Canada in regards to planning for the future, particularly within the health field. Looking at the population pyramids, a large portion of Canadas population are older adults. (Clarke, 2016). It is also known that a large portion of older adults reside within their own homes, “92.1% lived in private households…while 7.9% lived in collective dwellings” (Statistics Canada, 2011). Why it is though that living within one’s home seems to be the common trend? Perhaps living within a familiar community and neighborhood contributes to this choice. As older adults age and experience the need to transition into a collective dwelling, how will the notion of community and keeping these individuals in their community’s

The growth of a country is closely related to its population growth and can meet the needs of economic development. As a result, immigration can be the best way to save the economy when domestic population growth can not meet economic requirements. Since the 1970s, population growth in developing countries has slowed, leading to slower economic growth. Labor shortages in countries such as the UK, France and Germany have led to a severe recession. However, countries such as Canada have experienced great economic prosperity as new immigrants have been injected into the Canadian economy. It is therefore important for the Government to understand the immense impact of migration on the domestic economic boom. One of the most striking examples is

There are many key demographic indicators that make up each country. One of them is the crude birth rate. In Canada for example, the crude birth rate is 11 which is considered low. The crude birth rate is the number of live births per thousand of population per year. When this is compared to the world birth rate it is a little lower. According to the table provided the crude birth rate is a stable indicator. It is stable because it has not changed much in recent years and is pretty even to the region of Canada. Because it is stable, it is also a good environment to live in. The birth rate is low because in Canada there are higher standards of living, in addition to higher education levels. With the total fertility rate being low, that can come in the factor of the low birth rate from the last couple of years. 2.1 children per woman are required to replace the population in the absence of migration. Some key factors of why the fertility rate fell were for 3 costly events that affected a lot of countries. First in the 1930s it had a big decline due to the great depression. In the 1970s it also declined due to the energy crisis. The last major event was in 2011 and it was the Great Recession. With the Great Recession there were high unemployment rates. During the Great Depression period the total fertility rate was declining because there were many couples that used birth control to limit their family size.

The informative synopsis of how the demographic changes are taking place in states with the regard to the workforce, states and regions are benefiting from these changes, areas which are declining and why, as well as, the projections of the birth rates and aging in the states over the next twenty-five years. The economic implications of these changes have on our states. Then finally how this all is related to Federalism.

Statistics Canada projects that immigration will not only continue to be a key driver of population growth in the coming years—without it, Canada’s population growth could be close to zero in 20 years, as the population continues to age and fertility rates projected to remain below

Canada's population is about 20.5% immigrants. This means that one out of every 5 Canadians are foreign born. The country most people immigrate into Canada from is The Philippines at about 13% of Canada's immigrant population. It’s followed by China and India at about 10.5% each. The other countries in the top ten are the United States, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, Iran, South Korea, Colombia and Mexico. A lot of the countries that people are migrating from are near Canada, in poverty or going through something people want to flee from, like war and violence. For example, people are dying to get out of Mexico because of all the drug violence. Canada is attractive to people who live in countries with bad economies, people looking

Demographic change can impact on a slower reduction in TB incidence. Barcelona TB Control Program (PPCTB), Community health workers (CHW), and Public health nursing team (PHNT) also helped improve action procedures for immigrants including monitoring cases and their contact in accordance with international

Estimates for population growth in Canada are determined by using a components method. This method can project particular characteristics of a population, including age, sex and place of residence. Briefly, there are certain assumptions that must be properly prepared for each component of population growth prior to generating an estimate. In particular, assumptions regarding births, deaths, immigration and emigration must be outlined. When these are applied to the base population, an estimate for projected population can be determined by simply accounting procedures, where births and immigrations are added to the base population, while deaths and emigrants are subtracted from the base population.

Figures from the Bureau of Statistics indicate that Australia's population increase due to migration has begun to slow down this year. It was approximated that the amount of people migrating to Australia last year was 184,100. This figure follows a trend in which the amount of people migrating to Australia is becoming lower, especially since this figure is a 15% decrease from the year before. In total, migration into Australia totalled to over 470,000 people to the overall population, also 5.3% fewer than the year previous. Australia’s growth rate has dropped to 1.4%, the population only increasing by 330,200 to total at 23.6m by last year. In addition to the fact that migration figures are decreasing, many people are leaving states such as Queenland, Northern Territories and Western Australia. However, this did not affect their overall population too much as the amount of births exceeded the amount of deaths. The article also states that overseas migration was at its’ peak during 2008.

Demographic changes can cover several things such as birth rates, aging, life expectancy, fertility, economics, and immigration. These changes can affect the population in so many factors, including family health. One example of demographic changes that can be used is aging. Unsar, et al. (2016) conducted a study of older adults’ quality of life in Turkey. In the study, 108 elderlies were surveyed about their sociodemographic traits, quality of life, and social support. The study indicated that a decreased quality of life is most seen due to health problems such as mobility, pain, discomfort, anxiety, and depression (Unsar, et al., 2016). The study also concluded that good social support positively affect elderly's quality of life (Unsar,
