Canada and the Future (Continued from page 11) 37 per cent market slice - 9.3 million men, women and children - is worth approximately $60-billion per year. Canada's immigration policy, therefore, therefore, will continue to have a profound effect on business activity from coast to coast. Another important demographic pattern outlined in this report is Canada's aging population. Like most western countries, the report says, more Canadians are living longer. In 1971,14 elderly Canadians (65 years and older) were supported by 100 working : age Canadians,-18-64 years old. Estimates conclude that by 2011, that number will have doubled as long as immigration levels remain at the current level. A simple simple read between the lines contains a somewhat more ominous message: as the number of pension recipients increases, so too does the burden on our social system. The big questions then become, "will there be an adequate adequate number of people in the workforce?" workforce?" and if not, "who will pay for our enormously expensive otd-age security system?" Increasingly low fertility rates are . also playing an important role in the way Canadian business is planning for the future. Canada currently requires 2.1 children per woman just to keep pace with the existing population. The current fertility rate, however, is 1.6, The report concludes that as long as this trend continues, Canada's population will decline in the early part of the next century unless immigration quotas arc raised. The federal government estimates estimates that approximately 200,000 immigrants per year are required in order to prevent a further decline in population and, from a business point of view, to sustain a moderate-to-high level of economic growth. Although the majority of recent immigrants have chosen Torqnto, Montreal Montreal and Vancouver as the main centres to begin their new life, the reverberations reverberations are being felt across the country. Canadians as a whole, including those in the business community, stand to gain a great deal front a greater understanding understanding of our newest citizens.
