Changing Population . Trends =,

Tracing the growth of Can-
ada’s population during the
postwar period, the B of M ob-
serves that the relative prosperi-
ty of the Canadian economy
has not only attracted immi-
grants, at the rate of 117,000 a

year, “it has also induced. people. F

to marry at a younger age, to
have children. at. an. earlier
stage of marriage and to have
an increasing number of chil-
dren per family.” Since. -1946,:
the number of births recorded
- in Canada had risen from 330,000
to 440,000 a year. t

' However, the | review. points
eut, “the very factors that have
brought ‘about a rise in ~ the
birth-rate in recent years should
logically ‘lead: to'a-decline:in the
dirth-rate in” the. near ‘future.
The rising proportion of people
now (marrying before age 20

years’ time, and the tendency
to have children in the -early
years of marriage may mean
that fewer children are born
in later pears ...°. ”

‘omic resurgence in Western

fect upon the desire of is
