The Canadian Statistics Agency revealed that the fertility rate in the country has reached its lowest level ever at 1.33 children per woman during the year 2022.
The federal agency explained that this is part of a downward trend that began in 2009, and it seems that the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily disrupted this trend when the fertility rate rose in 2020 and 2021.
According to the report, other countries experienced a similar trend during those years.
This decline in the fertility rate between 2021 and 2022 is the largest observed since the decrease in the number of children in the early seventies.
StatCan pointed out that this places Canada in the middle of the group of ten high-income countries, which includes the G7 countries.
