For simplicity,
the wording "medium-growth scenario" usually refers to scenario
M1 which uses historical trends for the assumption on interprovincial
migration.
It
is obviously a simplification to equate the large 15-to-64 age group
with the working-age population, particularly given that some persons aged 65 or
over are employed.
Many studies, including Loh and
George (2007), Guillemette and Robson (2006) and United Nations (2000), show
that variations in the immigration level have a much greater effect on the
size of the projected population than on its age structure.
