  • Articles and reports: 91-209-X201100111511
    Geography: Canada, Province or territory
    Description:

    This article examines the age and sex structure within Canada's provinces and territories as of July 1st, 2010. As population aging is observed, a few themes are discussed: the senior population continues to grow, the population of older working-age increases and the share of children decreases. The author also examines the provincial and territorial variations of aging within Canada.

  • Articles and reports: 91-209-X201100111512
    Geography: Canada
    Description: This article on the age and sex structure of the different regions of Canada, (subprovincial level) examines the indicators of median age- the age at which half the population is older and half is younger- as well as the distribution of the population at particular age groups, especially seniors aged 65 years and over and children aged 14 years and under. It also includes a section on aging in census metropolitan areas, which occurs more slowly than the rest of Canada.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    The Population Estimates Program at Statistics Canada is using internal migration estimates derived from administrative sources of data. There are two versions of migration estimates currently available, preliminary (P), based on Child Tax Credit information and final (F), produced using information from income tax reports. For some reference dates they could be significantly different. This paper summarises the research undertaken in Demography Division to modify the current method for preliminary estimates in order to decrease those differences. After a brief analysis of the differences, six methods are tested: 1) regression of out-migration; 2) regression of in- and out-migration separately; 3) regression of net migration; 4) the exponentially weighted moving average; 5) the U.S. Bureau of Census approach; and 6) method of using the first difference regression. It seems that the methods in which final and preliminary migration data are combined to estimate preliminary net migration (Method 3) are the best approach to improve convergence between preliminary and final estimates of internal migration for the Population Estimation Program. This approach allows for "smoothing" of some erratic patterns displayed by the former method while preserving CTB data's ability to capture current shifts in migration patterns.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Changes in Statistics Canada's annual population estimates, introduced in 1993, have an impact on a wide range of social, economic and demographic indicators. Any indicator that relies on population estimates will be affected by the new figures. This article describes the adjustment and examines its impact on health and vital statistics rates. With rare exceptions, all rates decrease as the denominators are adjusted upward. For example, accident rates, suicide rates, and age-specific fertility rates based on the adjustment population are lower than those previously calculated. The extent of the adjustment, however, depends on the geographic and demographic characteristics of the population at risk. Analysts whose work concentrates on special subgroups for whom the adjustment is particularly great (such as young adult men) may wish to pay closer attention to the new population figures. Although the new rates are lower than before, underlying trends and patterns over time or across subcategories are quite similar. The revised series incorporates estimates of net census undercoverage, and for the first time, includes non-permanent residents. In 1991, net census undercoverage and non-permanent residents together amounted to about one million persons, or 3.6% of the revised Canadian population of 28,120,100.
