Age, 2006
Aging is one of the most important features of Canada’s demographic structure. The median age, which divides the population into two groups of equal size, has been rising steadily since 1966. In 2006, the median age of Canada’s population reached an all-time high of 39.5 years, up from 25.4 years in 1966 and 29.6 years in 1981. In general, Canada's population can be neatly demarcated geographically by its age structure. The population is generally younger as one moves progressively north of the United States - Canada border or moves west from Ontario (except British Columbia).
