Children Living at Home, 1996 - Children aged 18-24 years, living at home
Authors:   Atlas of Canada
Published: December 2018

There has been a substantial increase in the number of young adults living in their parental home. According to the results of the 1996 Census, 47% of women aged 20 to 34 lived with their parents, while over half of young unmarried men lived at home. A number
of factors have influenced this trend: Longer periods of time spent in schooling, higher rates of unemployment and economic instability during the early 1980's and in the early 1990's have influenced young adults towards placing more dependence on parents.
Children Living at Home, 1996 - Children aged 15-17 years, living at home
Authors:   Atlas of Canada
Published: December 2018

Children between the ages of 15 and 17, based on the map, were distributed fairly evenly across Canada with the exception of the Northwest Territories and the northern census divisions in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The highest proportion of this age group was
found in Newfoundland, southern Quebec, southern British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. As a proportion of all children living at home, this age group represented 12.2 % of the total.

Authors:   Atlas of Canada
Published: December 2018

Since 1981, common-law unions have been steadily increasing. This is particularly true in the province of Quebec. In 1981, 8% of Quebec couples lived common-law, compared to 25% in 1996. The rest of Canada has also seen a marked, but lower, increase from
6% in 1981 to 10% in 1996. Between 1991 and 1996 the number of common-law couples with children at home increased by 47%. This rate of increase was three times as high as for common-law couple families without children. As of 1996, there were 434 950 common-law couples with at least one
child living at home.
Families with Children Living at Home, 1996 - Married couples with children living at home
Authors:   Atlas of Canada
Published: December 2018

The majority of children in 1996 were living in a married-couple family. In 1996, 73 out of 100 children were in these families as compared to 78 out of 100 in 1991. As a proportion of married couples, 29% represented families without children. The large
percentage of families without children is partially attributed to the increasing number of families with children "leaving the nest". A small proportion of married couples have chosen to remain childless.

Family Structure, 1996 - Common-law Couple Families
Authors:   Atlas of Canada
Published: December 2018

Since 1981, common-law unions have been steadily increasing. This is particularly true in the province of Quebec. In 1981, 8% of Quebec couples lived common-law, compared to 25% in 1996. The rest of Canada has also seen a marked, but lower, increase from
6% in 1981 to 10% in 1996. Common-law unions are prevalent among the Aboriginal peoples of Canada. Of the couples living in the Territories, 31% were in common-law unions in 1996.
Marital Status, 1996: Married
Authors:   Atlas of Canada
Published: December 2018

In 1996, 41% of Canadians were legally married. The patterns evident on this map indicate a distinctly smaller proportion of married persons in Quebec and the Territories in comparison to the rest of Canada. This is attributed to the relatively high
proportion of common-law unions in those areas. In the 1960's, nine out of ten newlyweds were in their first marriage. By 1990, a third of the couples had at least one spouse that had been previously married. Couples choosing to marry for the first time are doing so at an older age. In 1990, women
married at an average age of 26 years and men at 27.9 years, as compared to 22.7 years and 25.1 years respectively, in 1970.
Marital Status, 1996: Single
Authors:   Atlas of Canada
Published: December 2018

In 1996, 13.3 million persons were single and had never married that is, 46.1% of the Canadian population. Since 1981, there has been an increase in the proportion of single people 15 years of age or older. This is partly attributable to the fact that young
people are waiting longer to get married or prefer to live common-law. In 1996, four out of ten individuals living alone reported being of a "single marital status", the same as for 1991. The proportion of single people aged 25 to 29 years has increased where, in 1996, 59% of that age group has
never married. This does not take into account the persons living in a common-law union.

In 2006, for the first time in Canadian history, there were more unmarried persons aged 15 years and over than legally married people. Just over one-half of Canada's population aged 15 years and over (51.5%) was unmarried; that is, they had never been legally
married (34.9%), or they were divorced (8.0%), widowed (6.2%) or separated (3.0%). Legally married people formed slightly less than half (47.9%) of the population. Twenty years earlier, 61.4% of the population aged 15 years and over was legally married, while 38.6% were
unmarried. Although the proportions of widowed and separated persons have remained relatively stable over the past two decades, increases have occurred largely among the divorced and, even more so, among the single (never legally married) population.

Ecozones are one of several levels of ecological regions that cover all of Canada. An ecozone is a discrete system, which has resulted from the mesh and interplay of geology, landform, soil, vegetation, climate, wildlife, water and human factors. Four of the
fifteen terrestrial ecozones of Canada are found in Nunavut: Northern Arctic, Arctic Cordillera, Southern Arctic, and Taiga Shield.

Population Change, 1996 to 2001 (by census division)
Authors:   Atlas of Canada
Published: December 2018

Between 1996 and 2001, the nation's population increased by 1 160 333 people, a gain of 4%. Canada has experienced one of the smallest census-to-census growth rates in its population. The Census counted 30 007 094 people in Canada on May 15, 2001, compared
with 28 846 761 in 1996. Only three provinces and one territory registered growth rates above the national average of 4%. Alberta's population surged by 10.3%, compared with 5.9% between 1991 and 1996. Ontario gained 6.1%, British Columbia 4.9% and Nunavut
8.1%.
Population Density, 2001 (by census division)
Authors:   Atlas of Canada
Published: December 2018

Canada, with 3.3 people per square kilometre, has one of the lowest population densities in the world. In 2001, most of Canada's population of 30 million lived within 200 kilometres of the United States. In fact, the inhabitants of our three biggest cities
Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver can drive to the border in less than two hours. Thousands of kilometres to the north, our polar region the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut is relatively empty, embracing 41% of our land mass but only 0.3% of our population. Human
habitation in the solitary north clings largely to scattered settlements: villages among vast expanses of virgin ice, snow, tundra and taiga.

Population Change, 2001-2006 (by census division)
Authors:   Atlas of Canada
Published: December 2018

Between 2001 and 2006, Canadas population grew by 5.4%. Only two provinces, Alberta and Ontario and three territories registered growth rates above the national average. The three Maritime provinces (Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) had
the smallest population growth, while Newfoundland and Labrador and Saskatchewan experienced population declines. In 2006, about 21.5 million people, almost two-thirds of Canadas population lived in 33 census metropolitan areas (CMAs). Between 2001 and 2006, the population of these CMAs climbed
6.9%, faster that the national average. Barrie registered the fastest population growth of any CMA (19.2%), followed by Calgary (13.4%), Oshawa (11.6%) and Edmonton (10.4%).

Sex Composition (male) by Age, 2006 - Later Working Years by Subdivision (35 - 64 years old)
Authors:   Atlas of Canada
Published: December 2018

In general, in most regions of Canada there are more females than males and this trend is particularly evident in areas with higher proportions of the population who are elderly. The preponderance of females in the older age groups is due to their higher life
expectancy compared to males. In 2006, Saskatchewan had the highest proportion (17.1%) of the female population that was 65 years and over, while Alberta (11.9%), and the three territories (7.2% for Yukon, 4.9% for the Northwest Territories, and 2.6% for Nunavut) had the lowest
proportions. The map shows the sex composition by age of the population by census subdivision.
