Statistics Canada’s Eh Sayers podcast
Statistics Canada’s Eh Sayers podcast has published an episode entitled The Grey Anatomy of Canada: The Story Behind Canada’s Aging Population
Canada’s population is getting a makeover, and it is changing the way Canadians live. We are digging into new demographic data with Patrick Charbonneau, Section Chief in the Centre for Demography at Statistics Canada, to see how big boomer and millennial generations, plus fewer younger people, are shaking up demand for housing, schools and health care.
We also look at the rise of the sandwich generation, the caregiving squeeze that comes with longer lives and smaller families, and the many ways older Canadians keep things running through volunteering, child care and family support.
