Canada 2060?
Using educated guesses, predictions will be made of how Canada will be demographically, of the change in birth and deaths rates, of immigration patterns and of the changes the first nations will bring upon our country. After an introduction of Canada's current situation, we'll dive right into Canada 45 years later in the future.
Canada Right Now!
Canada's Birth and Death Rate in 2060!
In the past the birth rate had its dramatic drops and rises, but now it seems that the birth rate just continues to decrease. Reasons for this are probably because of the lack of education, access to birth control methods and just how society viewed women. In the past woman were just used as people who care for their husbands and give birth, they were not given any rights or freedom unlike today's woman. Now that woman have equal rights and can have homes, earn wages, vote and do anything a man can do! Because of these changes women are no longer forced to have children, and now they may feel as though there are things they want to do before they get pregnant. Also they might feel like if they have too many children that they cannot have a job at the same time therefore leaving them leaving them with the decision of only having one or two children. So I believe that in 2060 the birth rate will continue to decrease causing the natural increase rate to decrease as well. Furthermore, According to med.uottawa.com, Canada is third among industrial countries for death rates as Canada possesses impressive access to health care, prevention programs and a good environment. Therefore, I believe that Canada will continue to be a safe country that will continue to lower the death rates. I also believe that as years go by, technology will continue to grow, and advances in medicine will be made. Because of this reasoning I believe that by 2060 the death rate will drop and life expectancy will increase.
