Demography
- Current Population; 34,834,841 however population will double by 2061; 63.8 million
- From 12.6 thousand in 2009 the average growth rate would decline to 11.9 per thousand in 2060
- Number of deaths will double starting from 243,500 in 2009 to 357,400 in 2035 and to 487,100 in 2058 then it'll decline to 486,900 in 2060
- Large generate of baby boomers will reach high ages which means high mortality rate
- Number of deaths will decrease meaning the end of baby boomers and into the ages of high mortality
- Birth depends on the number of women childbearing age
- Immigrants will have a big impact on the number of birth changes over time because most of the immigrants are in ages of childbearing
- Population will increase at a slow pace
- Birth rate & death rate will be low
- Half of Ontario's population are immigrants mainly from Asia
- Life expectancy will be 81 years;male and 87 years;female
- Fertility rate 1.70/women
Immigration
- the current immigration rate is 250,000 per year
- Ontario will have the most immigrants because of its climate and good opportunities for families
- Immigrants mainly from china, Philippines, India and other Asia countries will arrive in Canada seeking for either better education, job opportunities, freedom and rights or for living in a save environment
- Nunavut will have the least immigrants due to the cold weather and little job opportunities
- Canada is known for being very diverse which will bring more immigrants
- Immigrants means the population grow and birth rate will also increase
- Immigrants will help Canada's economy grow
First Nations
- Canada's Aboriginal youth population is growing at triple the national average size
- Young aboriginals are unlikely to graduate from high school and are far behind of a normal Canadian student generally in terms of completing post secondary education
- However, Canada is coming to the point where most workers are retiring due to old age and we need the younger population (aboriginals) to help out the economy
- Hundreds of thousands of young aboriginals won't be able to help due to lack of education which will affects our doctors, engineers, teachers etc
- they would be given some of their rights and freedom from the Indian Act of 1876
- They will fight for their health, clean water, education and most importantly equality
