Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Canada sees record population growth in 2022 from immigration
A half-century ago in 1983, the population of Canada was around 22.5 million, it added three million to 25.3 million in the next decade, another three million to 28.6 million by 1993, and again another three million to 31.6 million in the next decade to 2003. The population then added 3.4 million between 2004 and 2013 and a staggering 4.5 million in the last decade to reach 39.5 million as of January 2023. Canada has maintained a very consistent population growth over decades with a 75% increase in the last 50 years. It is remarkable for an economically developed country like Canada while other leading industrial countries are struggling to keep their population, like China or Japan. In 2022 alone, the nation added 1.05 million new residents, most of whom were immigrants. The government has been progressively accepting immigrants to ease labor shortages and cope with the aging population. Although there are challenges to accommodating housing, infrastructure, transportation, and services to the growing population, the population increase actually stimulates new businesses and grows the nation’s economy. Countries that have population, aging, or fertility problems might study this simple but effective solution.
Enjoy reading the article and learning what immigrants could bring about to an already developed country.
