The pace of population ageing is much faster than in the past. Today most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. Every country in the world is experiencing growth in both the size and the proportion of older people in the population. By 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or over. At this time, the share of the population aged 60 years and over will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. By 2050, the world’s population of people aged 60 years and older will double (2.1 billion). The number of persons aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million. While this shift in distribution of a country's population towards older ages – known as population ageing – started in high-income countries (for example in Japan 30% of the population is already over 60 years old), it is now low- and middle-income countries that are experiencing the greatest change. By 2050, two-thirds of the world’s population over 60 years will live in low- and middle-income countries. Some World Facts at a Glance
Situation Critical – The Demographic Wave Canada’s elderly population has already grown from 3.99 million in 2002 to 7.34 million in 2022, which amounts to 84 percent growth. Over the next 20 years, the number of Canadians aged 65 and older is projected to grow by another 49 percent to 10.93 million in 2042. By 2062, the number of seniors in the country is expected to reach almost 14 million. These projections rely on a number of assumptions about the fertility rate, life expectancy, and immigration and they are relatively conservative, meaning Canada’s population could age at a much faster pace. Immigration has a rejuvenating effect on the Canadian population, but this effect is not enough to stop the population aging process. While aging, Canada still has one of the youngest populations among the G7 countries, after the United States and the United Kingdom. The COVID-19 pandemic slowed population growth in all age groups. However, it has not had a significant impact on population aging. The fastest-growing population group is our oldest Canadians. “Seniors aged 85 and older are growing in number and as a proportion of the population. Despite being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, this population continues to increase faster than Canada as a whole. The growth of this population will accelerate even further in coming years, as the first baby boomer cohorts will turn 85 in 2031,” warns Statistics Canada. Today, an estimated 888,400 Canadians are aged 85 and older. Two decades from now, there will be 2.14 million Canadians in this age group—a remarkable 141 percent growth rate. As more seniors are living to 85 and beyond, an increasing number of individuals will face limitations and long-term health challenges. This will put increasing pressure on all levels of government to ensure adequate support, in areas such as housing, health care and home care, as well as transportation, among other things. Canadians aged 65 and over made up nearly 13 percent of the total population in 2002. Their share has increased to 19 percent in 2022 and is projected to reach nearly 24 percent in 2042 and 25 percent by 2062. Put differently, at the turn of the 21st century, approximately one in every eight Canadians were seniors. Four decades later, nearly one in every four Canadians will be in this age group. Two main demographic trends are behind our aging population: declining birth rates (we are having fewer children) and longer life expectancies (we are living longer). Together, both forces have resulted in an increasing median age that even a significant ramp-up in immigration would have trouble reversing. Some Quick Canadian Aging Facts
The purpose of providing these numbers is to give you a perspective on the impact that aging has in Canada and the world, and the need to have the knowledge to deal with these important issues. Please note that the previous numbers can change at any time throughout the year depending on when the stats were taken. View Complete TUITION OPTIONS
