Over Newfoundland and Labrador's good-news story of economic renewal
looms a demographic dilemma: a population plunge that's projected to be the
most dramatic slide in the country.
The Conference Board of Canada's most recent long-term forecast
predicts the province's population will fall from about 527,000 now to 482,000
by 2035.
"We're going to see much weaker economic prospects for
Newfoundland over the next 20 years and that will have an effect on the
population," said Marie-Christine Bernard, associate director of the
board's provincial forecast.
"I would say it's going to be a difficult situation for the
province."
The glorious myth of Sterile
Sex is unravelling. The Pope said Nope!
And we didn’t listen.
