Abstract

A review of the process of demographic aging in Canada is presented using data from the 1981 census. The author notes that from 1971 to 1981 all provinces except Alberta showed an increase in the aged proportion of their populations. However the growth rate of the 65 to 74 age group exceeded the growth rate of the population over age 75. The number of elderly females continued to grow faster than the number of elderly males. Changes in the distribution of the elderly by marital status and urban or rural residence are also described. (summary in FRE) (ANNOTATION)
