“…Over the period 2007–2010, average annual growth rates were 1.2% for Canada and 0.9% for its southern neighbour. These rates are nonetheless higher than those of France (0.5%) and of most other European countries (Adveev et al, 2011). …”

“…By 2030, the proportions will be 23% and 19%, respectively, and in 2050, 25% and 20%. The populations of North America will remain relatively young with respect to those of Europe, where more than one person in four will be over 65 by 2040 (31% in Italy and in Germany) (Adveev et al, 2011). In 2010, there were 4.8 million persons aged over 65 in Canada, and 40.2 million in the United States.…”

Canada and the United States have enjoyed vigorous population growth since the early 1980s. Although mortality is slightly higher in the United States than in Canada, this is largely offset by much higher fertility, with a total fertility rate at replacement level, compared with just 1.5 children per woman in Canada. The United States is also the world’s largest immigrant receiving country, although its immigration rate is only half that of Canada, where today one person in five is foreign-born, versus one in eight in the United States. Based on recent trends in fertility, mortality and international migration, the populations of these two North American countries will continue to grow over the next five decades, but at a progressively slower pace. The most acute demographic issue today is not, as in Europe, that of imminent population decline, but rather of the geographic and social inequalities which have increased steadily since the early 1980s and which are reflected in major fertility and health differentials between regions and social groups.
