With the release of the latest data from Statistics Canada, it was revealed that Canada’s fertility rate had fallen to just 1.25 children per woman.
To put this into perspective, it’s lower than Japan’s fertility rate of 1.30 children per woman recorded during the height of lockdown during the pandemic in 2021.
According to commentary from Statistics Canada, Canada now finds itself in an unenviable club, a nation defined by statistics agencies as experiencing an “ultra low fertility rate”.
