Data Doesn't Lie: Baby bust – Canada's fertility rate hit an all-time low in 2022.

Why this is happening? If you put on your thinking cap it is not hard to see this is happening across the world. It took Statistics Canada over a year to report a 2022 data and the figure is a 7.5% drop from the 2021 level. So far the largest drop in fertility rate for any country in 2022 is 24% and this belongs to Taiwan.

"The Canadian fertility rate has hit its lowest level since Statistics Canada began collecting data more than a century ago. The agency released its most recent numbers Wednesday, showing the birth rate fell to 1.33 children per woman in 2022, well below the replacement level of around 2.1. Canada’s birth rate dropped from 1.43 in 2021 and continues a “downward trend [that] began in 2009,” the report said.

"This is a national trajectory with record lows in nearly every province and territories. Quebec and Nova Scotia were the exceptions, Statistics Canada said."
