<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Basic to any understanding
of Canada in 20 years <BR>after the Second World War is the
country's impressive <BR>population growth. For every three
Canadians in 1945, there were <BR>over five in 1996. In
September 1966 Canada's population <BR>passed the 20 million
mark. Most of this surging growth came <BR>from natural
increase. The depression of the 1930's and the <BR>war had held
back marriages and the catching – up process <BR>began after
1945. The baby boom continued through the decade <BR>of the
1950's, producing a population increase of nearly <BR>fifteen
percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956. This rate <BR>of
increase had been exceeded only once before in
Canada's <BR>history, in the decade before 1911, when the
prairies were <BR>being settled. Undoubtedly, the good economic
conditions of the <BR>1950's supported a growth in the
population, but the expansion <BR>also derived from a trend
toward earlier marriages and an <BR>increase in the average
size of families. In 1957 the Canadian <BR>birth rate stood at
28 per thousand, one of the highest in the <BR>world.<O:P>
</O:P></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>After the peak year of 1957,
the birth rate in Canada <BR>began to decline. It continued
falling until in 1966 it stood at the <BR>lowest level in 25
years. Partly this decline reflected the low <BR>level of
births during the depression and the war, but it was <BR>also
caused by changes in Canadian society. Young people <BR>were
staying at school longer, more women were working, <BR>young
married couples were buying automobiles or houses <BR>before
starting families, rising living standards were
cutting <BR>down the size of families. It appeared that Canada
was once <BR>more falling in step with the trend toward smaller
families that <BR>had occurred all through the Western world
since the time of <BR>the Industrial Revolution.<O:P>
</O:P></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Although the growth in
Canada's population has slowed <BR>down by 1966(the increase in
the first half of the 1960's was <BR>only nine percent).
Another large population wave was coming <BR>over the horizon.
It would be composed of the children of the <BR>children who
were born during the period of the high birth <BR>rate prior to
1957.<O:P> </O:P></SPAN></P>
