Infometrics Senior Economist Nick Brunsdon and Principal Economist Brad Olsen discuss the latest local population trends and projections for the future, and launch the Infometrics Population Projections tool. Changing population dynamics mean that local communities will need to be aware of, and plan for, slower population growth than has recently been experienced. The aging of the population, and the tight labour market already, will add pressure to maintaining an adequate workforce in the years ahead. Nick and Brad outline what trends are changing, what our outlook is for population growth, and the importance of planning ahead for key changes.
