While I wait for some serious analysis that might justify the idea there are benefits to Albertans, I have thought the idea of an APP is an interesting academic exercise.
Eg. In 1966, was AB expecting a demographic advantage?
Eg. In 1966, was AB expecting a demographic advantage?
In 1966, 35% of the male population was ages 0-14 in AB. In ON, this was 32%.
Looking at today’s Population pyramids in isolation seems short-sighted to me. This is a product of not only fertility and death in AB, but also interprovincial migration over several decades
Planning for pensions requires a very long term outlook, more than a few rough years. I tend to avoid trying to look into the crystal ball, but I’d be interested in what demographers think AB might look like in 50 years under different migration scenarios
