Experts say Canada faces a population challenge According to a National Bank Financial Inc. report, Canada is experiencing a population trap, where rapid population growth clashes with infrastructure limits, causing the standard of living to plateau. Canada's population growth in 2023 was 3.2%, five times the OECD average. All provinces grew at least twice as fast as the OECD average. This growth challenges sectors like housing, where supply is at a historical deficit. To meet demand and control shelter cost inflation, Canada needs to double its housing construction to an unrealistic 700,000 starts annually. The report asserts that such population growth hinders Canada's economic health, as evidenced by stagnant Real GDP per capita for six years. The report recommends setting population goals considering the nation's capital stock and limiting annual population growth to 300,000 - 500,000 to escape the population trap. #Population_growth, #Canadian_population

A humble "tip of the hat" to Stefane Marion & Alexandra Ducharme for their clarity on this critical topic. "Canada is caught in a population trap that has historically been the preserve of emerging economies. We currently lack the infrastructure and capital stock in this country to adequately absorb current population growth and improve our standard of living. Our policymakers should set Canada's population goals against the constraint of our capital stock, which goes beyond the supply of housing, if we are to improve our productivity. At this point, we believe that our country's annual total population growth should not exceed 300,000 to 500,000 if we are to escape the population trap."

Here is an excellent report from National Bank economists. They conclude: "Canada is caught in a population trap that has historically been the preserve of emerging economies. We currently lack the infrastructure and capital stock in this country to adequately absorb current population growth and improve our standard of living. Our policymakers should set Canada's population goals against the constraint of our capital stock, which goes beyond the supply of housing, if we are to improve our productivity.

Australia’s economic growth has been increasingly reliant on population rather than real reforms to improve productivity and living standards. It has been deteriorating for several decades through governments of all types.

Sydney’s average yearly population growth was nearly 80,000 people in the decade preceding COVID-19, raising concerns about housing shortages. 🏠 To address this, advocating for more homes to be built raises a crucial question:   Where should more homes be built?
