Abstract
The wide-ranging effects of the post-war baby boom on Canadian society have served to focus attention on the significance of demographic change. However, most of this attention has centred on relatively short-term fluctuations in demographic patterns while ignoring equally important long-term trends. In this paper we describe the transformation which has occurred in Canadian population patterns since the mid-nineteenth century and briefly consider some of the most important social and economic consequences of these trends. Some of the implications of a continuation of present trends for the future of Canadian society are also discussed.
