This statistic depicts the age distribution of Canada from 2013 to 2023. In 2023, about 15.3 percent of the population in Canada fell into the 0-14 year category, 65.34 percent into the 15-64 age group and 19.36 percent were over 65 years of age.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Canadian, OK population pyramid, which represents the Canadian population distribution across age and gender, using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. It lists the male and female population for each age group, along with the total population for those age groups. Higher numbers at the bottom of the table suggest population growth, whereas higher numbers at the top indicate declining birth rates. Furthermore, the dataset can be utilized to understand the youth dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio, total dependency ratio, and potential support ratio.

Key observations

• Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Canadian, OK, is 50.4.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Canadian, OK, is 23.7.
• Total dependency ratio for Canadian, OK is 74.1.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Canadian, OK is 4.2.

Distribution of the population aged 25 to 64 with total Aboriginal identity, by highest certificate, diploma or degree and age group, Canada. This table focuses on total aboriginal identity only. This table is included in Section D: Postsecondary education: Educational attainment of the population aged 25 to 64 of the Pan Canadian Education Indicators Program (PCEIP). PCEIP draws from a wide variety of data sources to provide information on the school-age population, elementary, secondary and postsecondary education, transitions, and labour market outcomes. The program presents indicators for all of Canada, the provinces, the territories, as well as selected international comparisons and comparisons over time. PCEIP is an ongoing initiative of the Canadian Education Statistics Council, a partnership between Statistics Canada and the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada that provides a set of statistical measures on education systems in Canada.

As of May 2, 2023, Canadians aged 20 to 29 years accounted for 17 percent of COVID-19 cases in Canada, the largest share of all age groups.

Which groups of people are at higher risk? The number of new coronavirus cases in Canada had dropped dramatically in the beginning of 2021, suggesting the country had regained control of the second wave of infections, before spiking again around April and then dropping again in the summer months. A new surge began in December 2021, with the number of new daily cases skyrocketing, reaching never-before-seen levels. While there are much more cases among younger people, the number of COVID-19 deaths are particularly high for older people, especially those with pre-existing medical conditions. During these challenging times, it is important to protect older people living alone and those in care facilities. Groups should not be discriminated against because of age, and all communities need to be supported.

This Alberta Official Statistic compares the distribution of Alberta’s population by age and sex for two Census years (2006 and 2011). Age and sex are the most basic characteristics of a population. Every population has a different age and sex composition – the number and proportion of males and females in each age group. These characteristics are typically represented in a population pyramid.

Contained within the 5th Edition (1978 to 1995) of the National Atlas of Canada is a sheet that has 2 maps and an inset map. The first map shows proportion of total population in 65 to 74 and 75 plus age groups for each Census Division in 1986. An inset map shows the same information for the area from Windsor to Quebec. The second map of Canada shows proportion under 15 by Census Division. Population pyramids of age / sex distributions for 1961 and 1986 shown for each province, territory and for Canada.

As of January 2021, it was found that women in the age group of 25 to 34 years accounted for 13 percent of social media users in Canada, compared to 12.7 percent men in the same age bracket. Female teenagers aged 13 to 17 years only accounted for 1.5 percent of social media audiences in Canada.

In Canada during the fiscal year 2024/25, there were more male residents in residential continuing care facilities (not hospital-based) among those younger than 85 years. On the other hand, there were more female residents among those aged 85 years and above.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate that shows the distribution of population in what is now Canada circa 1851, 1871, 1901, 1921 and 1941. The five maps display the boundaries of the various colonies, provinces and territories for each date. Also shown on these five maps are the locations of principal cities and settlements. These places are shown on all of the maps for reference purposes even though they may not have been in existence in the earlier years. Each map is accompanied by a pie chart providing the percentage distribution of Canadian population by province and territory corresponding to the date the map is based on. It should be noted that the pie chart entitled Percentage Distribution of Total Population, 1851, refers to the whole of what was then British North America. The name Canada in this chart refers to the province of Canada which entered confederation in 1867 as Ontario and Quebec. The other pie charts, however, show only percentage distribution of population in what was Canada at the date indicated. Three additional graphs are included on this plate and show changes in the distribution of the population of Canada from 1867 to 1951, changes in the percentage distribution of the population of Canada by provinces and territories from 1867 to 1951 and elements in the growth of the population of Canada for each ten-year period from 1891 to 1951.

Standard 5. The characteristics, distribution and migration of human populations on the earth’s surface influence human systems (cultural, economic and political systems). Objectives: Students will be able to:

1. Describe Canada’s population distribution, density and growth.
2. Describe how Canada’s physical geography affects the location and size of its population centers.
3. Describe the patterns of Canada’s recent immigration and migration.
4. Describe the diversity of Canada’s population as a culture mosaic.Summary: Students describe the distribution, density and growth of Canada’s population based on patterns of current and historic settlement and physical features. Students also describe Canada’s culture mosaic addressing current immigration, migration, and culture patterns.

Contained within the 4th Edition (1974) of the Atlas of Canada is a set of three groups of graphs. The first group is population pyramids showing marital status percentages for Canada as a whole along with the provinces and territories by age and sex. The second group shows the birth and death rates for 1921 to 1965 by province and territory. As well, for 1851 to 1961, the elements of population change are illustrated. The third group shows the intended destination province or territory for immigrants between 1939 and 1969, and the totals of these immigrants by province or territory. Within this last group, the percentages of immigrants by country of birth are also shown.
