Birth Rates Continue To Decline In Canada

Birth rates across Canada and much of North America continue to fall, raising important questions about the future of our economy, workforce, housing, healthcare, and communities.

On this episode of TPL Media, hosts Jim Lang, Bradie Whetham, and Liam DeBoer take a closer look at the demographic trends reshaping the continent and examine why fewer families are choosing to have children.

The panel explores the economic realities facing young Canadians, including the rising cost of living, housing affordability, childcare expenses, career uncertainty, and changing cultural attitudes toward family life. They also compare Canada's declining birth rate with similar trends in the United States and other developed nations, discussing the long-term implications for labour shortages, immigration policy, pension systems, and economic growth.

Is this simply a natural demographic shift, or are governments and society failing to create conditions where families can thrive? Join Jim, Bradie, and Liam for a thoughtful conversation on one of the defining challenges facing Canada and North America, and what solutions may exist for future generations.
