This dataset compares birth, death and marriage registrations completed by the Office of the Registrar General, beginning in 1925, to the most current published annual report (2022). Data released for 2023 and 2024 (January to June) is preliminary and may not match counts from other sources. The data represents counts in the reference calendar quarters, which are collated approximately 90 days after the end of the quarter. Previously released counts for 2023 and 2024 (January to June) are updated to reflect vital event registrations completed after the release of the initial report. Each subsequent quarterly report is the cumulative total of the preceding quarterly reports. ServiceOntario’s ability to provide timely information depends on receiving vital event registration information from a variety of sources. The preliminary data presented may not represent all the events that occurred in the reporting period. This is particularly true for events that occurred near the end of the reporting period as they may not have been received by ServiceOntario by the time the data is collated. Final counts for the reporting year will be released with the publication of the Office of the Registrar General Annual Report. The Vital Statistics Act requires that after the end of each calendar year, the Registrar General publish a report that includes the number of births, marriages, deaths, still-births, adoptions and changes of name registered during the calendar year preceding the one that has ended.

This data set contains a summary of parents' age for live births registered by the Registrar General. The data is organized by year. The Office of the Registrar General (ORG) is responsible for maintaining vital statistics for the province of Ontario. The data provided represents the total number of completed registrations as of a specific date, tabulated or filtered by the given variables, and includes both residents and non-residents of Ontario (unless otherwise stated). This information is released in compliance with the Vital Statistics Act R.S.O. 1990, c. V. 4. Please note that the ORG does not guarantee the suitability, completeness or accuracy of the information.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Ontario by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Ontario. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Ontario by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Ontario. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Ontario.

Scope of gender :

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Ontario, WI population pyramid, which represents the Ontario 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 Ontario, WI, is 25.3.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Ontario, WI, is 27.3.
• Total dependency ratio for Ontario, WI is 52.6.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Ontario, WI is 3.7.

Number of live births and fetal deaths (stillbirths), by type of birth (single or multiple), 1991 to most recent year.

This statistic shows the total number of births in Canada from 2000 to 2023, by gender. Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, a total of 183,581 male and 174,322 female births were reported in Canada.

Population is the sum of births plus in-migration, and it signifies the total market size possible in the area. This is an important metric for economic developers to measure their economic health and investment attraction. Businesses also use this as a metric for market size when evaluating startup, expansion or relocation decisions.

In 2023, there were 4.1 births among females aged 15 to 19 years per 1,000 females in Canada. The teenage fertility rate in Canada has decreased in recent years. This statistic depicts the fertility rate of females aged 15 to 19 years in Canada from 2014 to 2023.

Data on the number of residential property owners, the assessment value of their property, the sex and birth year of the owner for the provinces of Nova Scotia, Ontario and British Columbia.

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.
