Given that the baby boomer generation is getting older and currently transitioning from the labour force to retirement, their needs are different today. The Canadian population is made up of various generations of different sizes, and each influences society according to their world view, characteristics, values and stage in their life cycle. Millennials also accounted for more than one-third (35.1%) of the downtown population of large urban centres in Canada in 2021, while baby boomers accounted for one-fifth (20.9%) of it.Millennials outnumber baby boomers in Alberta (23.3% versus 21.4%), Yukon (25.0% versus 24.2%), the Northwest Territories (25.2% versus 19.2%), and Nunavut (24.1% versus 10.6%).Millennials are the generation that accounts for the largest share of the working-age population (33.2%), or those aged 15 to 64.This increase is due to immigration, despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on recent immigration. Millennials, who are those born between 19 and were between 25 and 40 years old in 2021, are the fastest-growing generation.
They represent 24.9% of the Canadian population, compared with 41.7% in 1966, when they were under the age of 20. For the first time since the end of the baby boom, baby boomers-who were born between 19 and were between the ages of 56 and 75 in 2021-make up less than a quarter of the Canadian population.These changes will have significant consequences, particularly on the labour market, services to seniors, and the consumption of goods and services. The Canadian population is changing due to baby boomers getting older and immigration boosting numbers in the younger generations.Millennials were born between 19 - the name refers to the fact many came of age around the time of the year 2000. It is this generation that could be most impacted in their development by the Covid-19 pandemic and may be most affected by recent reported rises in screen time use and obesity. There is not yet a finishing point for this group, so a baby born in 2023 would be considered to be an Alpha.
Generation Alpha is a name that originated in 2008 and refers to children born from 2013 onwards. They have also been shown to be better at delaying gratification than older groups. They are also in a world where physical and mental healthcare is better understood and there are greater opportunities beyond social barriers.Įarly studies have shown that the generation has lower rates of teen pregnancy and alcohol use. Gen Z have been called ‘digital natives’. Unlike their predecessors, this group has been born into a time when the internet was already at a stage that was relatively advanced. Many of them are children of previous generations, such as Baby Boomers (born 1948 to 1964) or Generation X (born 1965 to 1980). Gen Z were born from 1997, when Tony Blair came to power and the Spice Girls were at their peak, until 2012, when London hosted the Olympics. The first group to have a title was the ‘lost generation’ from 1883 to 1900, many of whom fought in the First World War. The practice of grouping people within an age range together is not new and a fresh band is created every 25 or so years in the Western world. This is all you need to know about the group, which is also known as Zoomers. While Gen Z, as the group is known, is growing up facing social challenges that were not experienced by their predecessors, there are also greater opportunities in some respects. The term is often used in the media to describe the youngest generation, but there is actually a younger cohort. Generation Z’s oldest members are turning 26 in 2023, with millions in the social demographic set to come of age this year.
