Stats put together be redditor
I think it’s because life is not affordable for us folks. Jobs don’t pay much and are harder to come by, rents take like 50% of our income. The govt has specifically catered old folks so that’s why you don’t see a lot of new growth from younger Canadians. And that’s true if young immigrants that come here as well
It’s weird though because my parents generation were raised in poverty. Many of my parents generation were sleeping 4 kids to a room and there was 9 person family’s.
It wouldn’t have been much of a baby boom if, 60 years later, there was more babies than during the boom. They’ve been the largest demographic every year they’ve been alive, and now that demographic is “old”
But they are not the largest demographic. They had kids. There kids are not having kids.
Let’s cut immigration some more. It will help lol
I mean if people could afford to live have a nice life. Maybe they’d have jkids both parents working 40 plus hour weeks. Then the xist of child care how can people afford kids.
Immigration isn’t an answer either.
Allowing the middle class to actually exist, and flourish, is how you correct for a lack of children. You don’t do it by taking adults (and potentially their kids eventually) from someplace else. That just isn’t an actual solution at all.
Taxing corporations and making housing both attainable and the middle class existing is how you get people to decide they actually want kids. No one that looks at the state the world is in is likely to choose to bring more children into it if they have any thoughts other than “I want kids.” I have a kid, but I’d never choose to have another because the world is in upheaval.
Immigration is a bandaid on a limb that has been lost. It’s not helping.
cutting indian immigration would be a plus
Canada has about 17.2 % of its population over 65 years old, ranking it at 15th in the world. https://www.prb.org/news/countries-with-the-oldest-populations-in-the-world/
Governments aren’t building houses outside of metros.
Governments aren’t building houses anywhere, they’re trying to get the private sector to do it. Which isn’t working very well most places.
