New Brunswick’s Perfect Demographic Storm
Abstract
The demographic storm clouds have been gathering for some time. No one should say we did not have sufficient advance warning of the gathering storm. Everyone should conclude that we did not act in a proactive and purposeful manner in order to avert the disastrous consequences of this perfect demographic storm. Despite the silver lining in the 2011 census data, the sun has not broken through the clouds on the New Brunswick demographic landscape. This paper analyzes New Brunswick’s demographic antecedents and proposes a proactive strategic plan for New Brunswick’s sustainable demographic future
Résumé
Les nuages de la tempête démographique se sont accumulés depuis quelque temps. Personne ne peut prétendre ne pas avoir été prévenu que la tempête arrivait. Nous devons tous conclure que nous n’avons pas agi de manière proactive et ciblée afin d’éviter les conséquences désastreuses de cette tempête démographique parfaite. Malgré une certaine lueur d'espoir qui pointe des données du recensement de 2011, le soleil n’a pas percé les nuages au-dessus du paysage démographique du Nouveau Brunswick. Cet article analyse les antécédents démographiques du Nouveau Brunswick et propose un plan stratégique proactif pour un avenir démographique durable dans cette province.
