Statistics Canada says even large-scale immigration will not be enough to soften blow of aging workforce. Peter Zimonjic · CBC News · Posted: Apr 27, ...

The number of children under the age of 15 at the time of the 2021 census stood at six million, compared to seven million Canadians 65 and older. Population projections for Manitoba and Alberta indicate that Canadians aged 65 and older will not outnumber children under 15 until 2031. The Yukon is slightly lower at 17 per cent. The demographic gap has grown substantially, from just 96,000 then to just over a million by 2021. - Not all urban centres are the same. It's also the declining growth rate among younger Canadians as the country's fertility rate hit an all time low of 1.4 children per woman, Statistics Canada said. In 1966, there were 200 people aged 15 to 24 for every 100 Canadians aged 55 to 64, but that has now been flipped on its head. The number of children under the age of five also fell from almost 1.9 million in 2016 to 1.83 million in 2021, a decline of more than 3.6 per cent. "Canada is at a very special place right now," she said. A closer look shows that the number of Canadians aged 85 and older rose almost 12 per cent from the time of the last census, while Canadians aged over 100 rose by more than 15 per cent. The seven million Canadians 65 and older make up 19 per cent of the population, up from 16.9 per cent at the time of the last census. From 2016 to 2021, the number of Canadians age 65 and older rose 18.3 per cent to seven million — the second-largest increase in 75 years, after the increase recorded from 2011 to 2016, which was a rise of more than 20 per cent.

“This development does speak to good faith, and a lot of important work that's being done by individual people within the government,” Ashley said. But these types of changes, especially when it comes to the census, are long overdue.” Further, there has been social and legislative recognition of transgender, non-binary and LGBTQ people in general,” Statistics Canada said. “But then, also, you have a bunch of people who are not necessarily in an environment where they can safely disclose their gender to other people.” Ashley said maintaining the binary in that way is also problematic, because it continues to misgender non-binary people. While the agency and advocates agree the new numbers likely underestimate the true size of the population, they say the data will offer crucial insight into a marginalized community.

“It’s going to affect the country in terms of the way the medical resources are distributed. So they’re not going to have the same family support that’s existed since basically the beginning of time,” MacDonald said. It’s a problem the researcher has personally contended with. But I think most of all, it’s going to affect everyone personally,” she said. Many of the effects of Canada’s grey wave won’t be felt for about five to 10 years, when Canada can expect to see massive increases in the number of people over 85. “One of the big impacts of the aging population is on the health care system, and on the need for long-term care,” said Environics chief demographer Doug Norris.

That was the highest proportion of any province and territory, new Census report finds.

The 2021 Census was the first time a question allowing all cisgender, transgender and nonbinary individuals to report their gender was included on a national census. “We’ve always been around.” “It’s not because there’s more trans people.” They also felt the census count was under-reported.

The census release said the “vast majority” of non-binary people live in cities. In raw numbers, Ontario is home to the most transgender and non-binary people in Canada: 39,450. The numbers varied across Canada, with Nova Scotia, Yukon and British Columbia having the highest proportions of people who are either transgender or non-binary — 0.48, 0.47 and 0.44 per cent respectively. Canada is the first country to include and publish the results of such questions about gender in its census. “Gender diversity was highest among those aged 20 to 24, almost 1 in 100 (0.85 per cent) of whom were transgender or non-binary,” reads the release.
