    The Fond Hope and Sobering Reality of Immigration’s Impact on Canada’s Demographic and Economic Future

    “Current fertility and immigration rates, moderately rising life expectancy and historical productivity growth can be expected to depress workforce growth, boost the ratio of Canadians 65 and over to those of working age (the old-age dependency ratio) and depress growth in incomes per person. Despite some popular commentary, offsetting or even noticeably mitigating these trends would require unrealistic increases in immigration.”

    “Delaying the normal age of retirement could help both workforce growth and old-age dependency in the near term. Higher fertility would help achieve both goals in the next generation and beyond, and faster productivity growth would boost real incomes per person more than any conceivable immigration strategy.”
