Toronto’s population is growing quickly – just not among young children

Like many places across Canada, Toronto’s population is growing by leaps and bounds, largely because of strong immigration. Conversely, the city is losing a chunk of residents: young kids.

As of 2001, nearly one-fifth of Toronto-area residents were ages 14 and under; today, it’s 14 per cent. Over the 12 months to July 1 of last year, the Toronto area saw a net loss of around 14,600 kids on an intraprovincial basis. Put differently, 14,600 more kids left Toronto for other parts of Ontario than moved in.
