Manitoba Bureau of Statistics has released highlights from the medium projection scenario for the Province of Manitoba for the period 2008 to 2041. Among other things, the Bureau is projecting that by 2020 Manitoba’s population is expected to total just over 1.4 million people, based on a projected average annual increase of 19,700 persons per year. Interestingly, there is good news to allay the fears many have had about Manitoba’s aging population. While older age groups (especially 64 to 74 year-olds) grow sharply over the next ten years (up 60%), children 14 years and younger will rise by 23%, and the median age in Manitoba in 2020 will be down marginally (3 basis points) at 37.5 years.
A full report detailing the findings can be purchased from Manitoba Bureau of Statisitics.
