Annual demographic statistics

2003

The 2003 issue of Annual Demographic Statistics provides the most recent population estimates by age group and sex, as well as data on births, deaths and migrations. It groups the information by province and territory, census metropolitan area and census division, and also provides data on population estimates by marital status, and marriages for the provinces and territories.

A CD-ROM included with the publication contains even more data. The historical time series includes population data back to 1971 for provinces and territories, and to 1996 for census divisions and census metropolitan areas. The CD-ROM also includes animated age pyramids, which illustrate the aging of the population.

These time series can be easily captured and manipulated to create customized demographic analyses in any spreadsheet program. The population figures can be used to calculate per capita rates for market research, quantitative analysis and planning.

The 2003 issue of Annual Demographic Statistics, 2003 (91-213-XIB, $60 without the CD-ROM; 91-213-XPB, $134 including the CD-ROM) is now available.
