Okay, so imagine you're in a really big group of people and you all have different traits that make you unique. Some of you are taller, some are shorter, some of you have different hair colors and skin colors, and some of you are older or younger.
This big group of people is called a population, and the population of New Brunswick is made up of lots of different people too! They all have different characteristics, such as age, gender, and where they were born.
New Brunswick has a population of about 780,000 people. Around half of them are women and the other half are men.
One important characteristic of the population in New Brunswick is age. There are lots of people of different ages, but we can group them into a few categories.
First, there are babies and kids who are younger than 18 years old. They make up a little less than a quarter of the population.
Then, there are adults who are between the ages of 18 and 65. They make up the biggest group, with about 60% of the population falling into this age range.
Finally, there are seniors who are older than 65. They make up about 15% of the population.
Another important characteristic is where people were born. Some people were born in New Brunswick, while others immigrated or moved from other parts of Canada or other countries.
In New Brunswick, most people were born here or in another part of Canada. Only about 5% of the population were born in another country.
So that's a little bit about the demographics of New Brunswick! The population is made up of lots of different people with different characteristics, including age and where they were born.
