Canada's aging index shows that In 2000, for each group of 100 children from 0 to 14 years old there were 65.8 elders (65 years old and over). In 2051, the scenario changes and for each 100 children (aged 0 to 14) there will be 185.3 elders or seniors mainly due to a combination of a longer life expectancy and lower fertility rates.
