The Canadian fertility rate has hit its lowest level since Statistics Canada began collecting data more than a century ago.
The agency released its most recent numbers Wednesday, showing the birth rate fell to 1.33 children per woman in 2022, well below the replacement level of around 2.1. Canada’s birth rate dropped from 1.43 in 2021 and continues a “downward trend [that] began in 2009,” the report said.
This is a national trajectory with record lows in nearly every province and territories. Quebec and Nova Scotia were the exceptions, Statistics Canada said.
Global’s Katherine Ward has the details.
