Questions 10-21
Basic to any understanding of Canada in 20 years
after the Second World War is the country s impressive
population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were
over five in 1996. In September 1966 Canada s population
passed the 20 million mark. Most of this surging growth came
from natural increase. The depression of the 1930 s and the
war had held back marriages and the catching – up process
began after 1945. The baby boom continued through the decade
of the 1950 s, producing a population increase of nearly
fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956. This rate
of increase had been exceeded only once before in Canada s
history, in the decade before 1911, when the prairies were
being settled. Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the
1950 s supported a growth in the population, but the expansion
also derived from a trend toward earlier marriages and an
increase in the average size of families. In 1957 the Canadian
birth rate stood at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the
world.
