Like many other nations of the 1st world, the number of children aged 0-14 years has been falling steadily in recent years. In fact, Canada's percentage share of that age group is ranked one of the lowest in the world, with just 16.3% in 2008, down from 18.5% five years earlier. The largest populations share, aged between 15 and 64 years has actually increased, growing from 68.6% to 68.8% between 2003 and 2008, though there has been a fall from 69.2% in 2007. Canada has one of the highest percentage share of the population aged 65 years and older in the world, with 14.9% (2008), the 33rd highest of 227 nations. That figure represents a growth of 2% from five years earlier.

That represents a fall of almost 2% between 2003 and 2008.Canada Population Pyramid for 1995
