The statistic shows the gross domestic product (GDP) in Canada from 1987 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. In 2024, the gross domestic product in Canada was around 2.41 trillion U.S. dollars. The economy of Canada Canada is the second biggest country in the world after Russia and the biggest country in North America. Despite its large size, Canada has a relatively small population of just around 35.9 million people. However, the total population in Canada is estimated to grow to around 37.5 million inhabitants in 2020. The standard of living in the country is pretty high, the life expectancy as of 2013 in Canada ranks as one of the highest in the world. In addition, the country ranks number eight on the Human Development Index (HDI) worldwide. All key factors point to a stable and sustainable economy. Not only is Canada’s population increasing, but the economy has been slowly recovering after the global financial crisis in 2008. The unemployment rate in Canada in 2010 was at approximately 8 percent (263696). Today, the unemployment rate in Canada is estimated to be around 6.8 percent, and it is estimated to decrease further. During the financial crisis in 2008, Canada's inflation rate amounted to around 2.4 percent. By 2013, the inflation rate was at less than 1 percent in comparison to the previous year. Canada is considered to be one of the world’s wealthiest countries. By value of private financial wealth, Canada ranked seventh along with Italy. In addition, its gross domestic product per capita in 2014 was among the largest in the world and during the same year, its gross domestic product increased by over 2.5 percent in comparison to the previous year. Canada’s economic growth has been a result of its political stability and economic reforms following the global financial crisis. In the period between 2009 and 2010, Canada was among the leading countries with the highest political stability in the world.

Contained within the 4th Edition (1974) of the Atlas of Canada is a set of three maps. The first map shows per capita personal income by census division for 1966 and is accompanied by a supplementary text and chart showing, by province, the percentage personal income of total national income and per capita personal income. The second map shows the total personal income by census division for 1966 as a percentage of the total national income. The third map shows the percentage of the total income by census division that is derived from sources other than employment (i.e. rental income, investment income, alimony received etc.) for 1966. The maps are accompanied by a chart expressing the structure of salaries and wages for each province and territory.

The "Canada Per Capita Income Prediction" dataset presents a comprehensive collection of historical economic data focused on Canada's per capita income, with the added dimension of predictive analysis. This dataset has been meticulously curated to offer a deep understanding of income trends, enabling researchers, economists, and policymakers to make informed decisions.

Sourced from reputable governmental agencies such as Statistics Canada, the dataset spans several decades, encompassing varying economic scenarios and policy changes. It combines indicators such as GDP growth, employment rates, inflation, and sectoral contributions, providing a holistic view of the factors influencing per capita income.

The inspiration behind compiling and predicting this dataset lies in the crucial need for accurate economic forecasting. As economies continue to evolve, accurate predictions facilitate proactive planning for governments, businesses, and individuals. This dataset empowers researchers to explore correlations between income levels and various economic indicators, shedding light on the potential effects of policy decisions on the citizens' standard of living.

In addition to its analytical utility, this dataset can serve as an educational resource, allowing students and enthusiasts to grasp the complexities of economic dynamics and predictive modeling. By offering this dataset, we aim to foster a data-driven approach to understanding the economic landscape and contribute to evidence-based discussions on economic policies, growth, and prosperity in Canada.

The statistic shows the total population in Canada from 2020 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. In 2024, the total population in Canada amounted to about 41.14 million inhabitants. Population of Canada Canada ranks second among the largest countries in the world in terms of area size, right behind Russia, despite having a relatively low total population. The reason for this is that most of Canada remains uninhabited due to inhospitable conditions. Approximately 90 percent of all Canadians live within about 160 km of the U.S. border because of better living conditions and larger cities. On a year to year basis, Canada’s total population has continued to increase, although not dramatically. Population growth as of 2012 has amounted to its highest values in the past decade, reaching a peak in 2009, but was unstable and constantly fluctuating. Simultaneously, Canada’s fertility rate dropped slightly between 2009 and 2011, after experiencing a decade high birth rate in 2008. Standard of living in Canada has remained stable and has kept the country as one of the top 20 countries with the highest Human Development Index rating. The Human Development Index (HDI) measures quality of life based on several indicators, such as life expectancy at birth, literacy rate, education levels and gross national income per capita. Canada has a relatively high life expectancy compared to many other international countries, earning a spot in the top 20 countries and beating out countries such as the United States and the UK. From an economic standpoint, Canada has been slowly recovering from the 2008 financial crisis. Unemployment has gradually decreased, after reaching a decade high in 2009. Additionally, GDP has dramatically increased since 2009 and is expected to continue to increase for the next several years.

Since 2003, the World Bank publishes the Ease of Doing Business (EDB) Index aimed at measuring the regulatory efficiency and institutional quality of key processes that affect the business environment in a given economy. While highly influential, particularly in the developing world, the EDB has also been faced with criticism and at times controversies. In 2020, the World Bank decided to interrupt temporarily the publication of the EDB report as a result of an audit that revealed politically motivated manipulation of EDB rankings. Over time, Canada’s relative rankings fell from 4th in 2007 to 23rd in 2020 with no significant changes in its business environments or policies. Canada’s rank fall can only be partially explained as other economies such as Georgia and Mauritius surpassed Canada with higher overall rankings. To understand the underlying causes of Canada’s rank declining, the Office of the Chief Economist (OCE) commissioned a study to look at Canada’s performance in all 10 areas of the EDB Index. The study also looked at other competitiveness and economic freedom indices (e.g. IMD World Competitiveness Index, World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness report and the Fraser Institute Index of Economic Freedom) and found no such decline in Canada`s performance.

Lower Canada, now the Canadian province of Quebec, is believed to have faced an agricultural crisis in the early 1800s, leading to declining living standards, a debated topic due to lack of data. This paper uses new data on real wages, literacy, and infant mortality to quantitatively assess living standards from 1760 to 1850. The findings show no evidence of a crisis; instead, there are only indications of improvements during the period.

In 2022, 9.9 percent of all Canadians were living in low income. Between 2000 and 2022, the percentage of population with low income experienced a decrease, reaching the lowest value in 2020. The highest share of Canadians with low income was recorded in 2015, with 14.5 percent of the total population.

Low Income Measures

The low income measures (LIMs) were developed by Statistics Canada in the 1990s. They, along with the low income cut-offs (LICOs) and the market basket measure (MBM), were created in order to measure and track the low income population of Canada. With low income measures, individuals are classified as being in low income if their income falls below fifty percent of the median adjusted household income. The median income is adjusted in order to reflect the differing financial needs of households based on the number of its members. The low income measures are a useful tool to compare low income populations between countries as they do not rely on an arbitrary standard of what constitutes the threshold for poverty. Statistics Canada insists that the low income measures are not meant to be representative of a poverty rate. The department has no measure which they define as a measurement of poverty in Canada. Latest data and trends In 2022, around 2.1 million people were living in low income families in Canada. This figure has been fluctuating over the years, both in absolute numbers and in proportion over the total population. More women than men were living in low income families in 2022, though the number of men in low income has risen at twice the rate as that of women. One of the more drastic changes has been the rise in the number of single individuals living in low income, increasing by more than 60 percent since 2000.

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on predominantly economic, political, and social issues. The questions ask opinions of the past federal election, the economy, and Christmas. There are also questions on other topics of interest such as the standard of living in Canada, and household finances. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic, political and social variables. Topics of interest include: election; economy; standard of living; Christmas; and political party preference. Basic demographic variables are also included

This statistic shows unit labor costs in Canada in 2023, distinguished by industry. In 2023, unit labor costs in the Canadian construction industry amounted to 0.95 Canadian dollars per unit of real GDP. Labor ProductivityLabor productivity or workforce productivity is the measure of value added to the economy relative to the number of hours worked for production. It is most often measured as output per hour of labor. Labor productivity is a commonly used indicator of overall economic health, growth, and efficiency. Growth of productivity is of crucial influence on the standard of living in a society. Increased productivity should lead to higher salaries for workers as well as lower prices for consumers. Labor productivity in the business sector in Canada increased by around 20 percent from 2000 to 2023, standing at 59.1 Canadian dollars added to the GDP per hour worked in 2023. The non-profit institutions were, by far, the most productive in 2023, adding 212.7 Canadian dollars to the GDP per hour worked.

This survey monitors wellbeing among residents of the City of Guelph, located in Ontario, Canada. The survey is a joint initiative of the Canadian Index of Wellbeing in partnership with the City of Guelph. The purpose of the survey is to better understand subjective perceptions of wellbeing of residents in the survey area. The primary objectives of this survey are to (a) gather data on the wellbeing of residents which could be monitored o ver time; and, (b) to provide information on specific aspects of wellbeing that could be used to inform policy issues and community action. The survey provides information based on eight domains of wellbeing, as identified by the Canadian Index of Wellbeing: Community Vitality, Democratic Engagement, Environment, Education, Healthy Populations, Leisure and Culture, Living Standards, and Time Use. The questionnaire collected additional information about socio-economic and household characteristics, and feelings of overall satisfaction with each domain of wellbeing. A total of N=1,390 residents completed the survey.

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on predominantly political and social issues. The questions ask opinions on the past election, the state of the economy, the standard of living in Canada, and federal politics. There are also questions on other topics of interest such as the most important problem facing Canada, approval of Jean Chretien, and spousal relations. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic, political and social variables. Topics of interest include: the economy; standard of living; Jean Chretien; federal politics; spousal relations; and political party preference. Basic demographic variables are also included

In 2025, Luxembourg was the country with the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. Of the 20 listed countries, 13 are in Europe and five are in Asia, alongside the U.S. and Australia. There are no African or Latin American countries among the top 20. Correlation with high living standards While GDP is a useful indicator for measuring the size or strength of an economy, GDP per capita is much more reflective of living standards. For example, when compared to life expectancy or indices such as the Human Development Index or the World Happiness Report, there is a strong overlap - 14 of the 20 countries on this list are also ranked among the 20 happiest countries in 2024, and all 20 have "very high" HDIs. Misleading metrics? GDP per capita figures, however, can be misleading, and to paint a fuller picture of a country's living standards then one must look at multiple metrics. GDP per capita figures can be skewed by inequalities in wealth distribution, and in countries such as those in the Middle East, a relatively large share of the population lives in poverty while a smaller number live affluent lifestyles.

The statistic shows the average inflation rate in Canada from 1987 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. The inflation rate is calculated using the price increase of a defined product basket. This product basket contains products and services, on which the average consumer spends money throughout the year. They include expenses for groceries, clothes, rent, power, telecommunications, recreational activities and raw materials (e.g. gas, oil), as well as federal fees and taxes. In 2022, the average inflation rate in Canada was approximately 6.8 percent compared to the previous year. For comparison, inflation in India amounted to 5.56 percent that same year. Inflation in Canada In general, the inflation rate in Canada follows a global trend of decreasing inflation rates since 2011, with the lowest slump expected to occur during 2015, but forecasts show an increase over the following few years. Additionally, Canada's inflation rate is in quite good shape compared to the rest of the world. While oil and gas prices have dropped in Canada much like they have around the world, food and housing prices in Canada have been increasing. This has helped to offset some of the impact of dropping oil and gas prices and the effect this has had on Canada´s inflation rate. The annual consumer price index of food and non-alcoholic beverages in Canada has been steadily increasing over the last decade. The same is true for housing and other price indexes for the country. In general there is some confidence that the inflation rate will not stay this low for long, it is expected to return to a comfortable 2 percent by 2017 if estimates are correct.

At the end of each fiscal year, government-wide financial information is published in the Public Accounts. This dataset presents the total travel and living costs paid to each commission's member.

Canada CA: Exports: All Services: Travel data was reported at 61,341.000 CAD mn in 2023. This records an increase from the previous number of 41,625.000 CAD mn for 2022. Canada CA: Exports: All Services: Travel data is updated yearly, averaging 8,194.000 CAD mn from Dec 1961 (Median) to 2023, with 63 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 61,341.000 CAD mn in 2023 and a record low of 464.000 CAD mn in 1961. Canada CA: Exports: All Services: Travel data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Canada – Table CA.OECD.TISP: Trade in Services: Exports: by Services: OECD Member: Annual. This component of EBOPS 2010 differs from most internationally traded services in that it is transactor-based. Unlike most services in EBOPS, travel is not a specific product; rather, it encompasses a range of goods and services consumed by non-residents in the economy that they visit. Travel is defined as covering goods and services for own use or to be given away, acquired from an economy, by non-residents during visits to that economy. It covers stays of any length, provided that there is no change in residence.Travel includes goods and services acquired by persons undertaking study or medical care while outside the territory of residence. It also includes acquisitions of goods and services by seasonal, border and other short-term workers in the economy of employment.The goods and services may be purchased by the persons concerned or by another party on their behalf; for example, business travel may be paid for or reimbursed by an employer; tuition and living costs of a student may be paid by a overnment; and health costs may be paid or reimbursed by a Government or insurer. Goods and services supplied by the producer without charge are also included, for example, tuition and board provided by a university.The most common goods and services entered under travel are accommodation, food, beverages and transport purchased within the economy visited (all of which are consumed in the supplying economy). Gifts, souvenirs and other articles that are purchased for own use and that may be taken out of the economies visited are also included.In line with the accrual principle, goods and services acquired during the visit, but paid for earlier or later, are included in travel. Goods and services may be acquired by being paid for by the person going abroad, paid for on his or her behalf, provided without a quid pro quo (for example, free room and board received: in such a case, there is also a corresponding transfer) or produced on own account (as in some cases of ownership of real estate and time-share accommodation).The goods and services for own use or to be given away, purchased by or provided to the non-resident while on the trip that would otherwise be classified under another item, such as postal services, telecommunications, and transport, are included in travel. This includes transport within a particular economy being visited where such transport is provided by carriers resident in that economy but excludes the international carriage of persons, which is covered in passenger services under transport services. Also excluded are goods purchased for resale in the resident's own economy or in a third economy. The acquisition of valuables (such as jewellery and expensive art), consumer durable goods (such as cars and electronic goods) and other consumer purchases for own use that is in excess of customs thresholds, are excluded. These goods are included in general merchandise.Travel excludes the acquisition of goods and services by diplomats, consular staff, military personnel, etc., and their dependants in the territory in which they are posted (included in Government goods and services n.i.e.).
