Like many western nations, Canada is getting older – and it’s a trend that’s going to continue. According to StatsCan, the proportion of seniors (65-plus) in the population will increase from 18.5% in 2021 to as high as 29.8% in 2068 (depending on how Canada’s population grows). The number of older seniors (85-plus) will also climb rapidly, particularly between 2031 and 2050 as the baby-boomers enter the age group. While this demo numbered 871,400 in 2021 – double what it was in 2001 – expect it to grow to between 2.8 million and 3.6 million by 2068. In fact, it’s one of the country’s fastest-growing groups.
