Canada’s population is aging fast and birth rate is declining, which is about to pose certain challenges to the growth of the country’s economy. So Canada needs more immigrants to sustain the economic growth and support the aging cohorts, stated a new report by the economics department of the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC).
Canada will be welcoming 1.3 million immigrants between 2022 and 2024. According to the RBC analysts, this will reverse the trend during the pandemic period, when Canada rates dropped significantly and led to the slowing down of population growth. From mid-2000 to mid-2021, Canada’s population growth was a mere 0.5 per cent, the slowest rate recorded in half a century. But since then, the immigration has rebounded, having welcomed around 400,000 immigrants by the end of 2021.
Canada needs more immigrants
The RBC report says that low population growth could hamper Canada’s economic growth. It is predicted that Canada’s natural population growth would drop to zero by 2030. So, Canada needs even more newcomers to grow its workforce, according to the researchers. An aging population means fewer people of working age. As immigrants tend to be younger, they will help to ensure that Canada has enough workforce to promote the country’s economic growth. As Canada is already facing a severe labour shortage, the problem could only be tackled with immigration.
