OTTAWA, ON – Statistics Canada says the country’s fertility rate reached an all-time low of 1.33 children per woman in 2022.
The federal agency says that’s part of a downward trend that began in 2009.
The COVID-19 pandemic appeared to have temporarily disrupted the trend when the fertility rate rose in both 2020 and 2021.
According to the report, other countries had a similar experience during those years.
