    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Urban Demographics
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Canada, including Ottawa, is experiencing a significant demographic shift known as the "age wave."
    • Ottawa-Carleton has one of Ontario's most rapidly increasing senior populations.
    • Currently, 11% of Ottawa's residents (70,000 individuals) are aged 65 and older.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the "age wave" phenomenon in Ottawa.
    • To project the future growth of the senior population in Ottawa-Carleton.
    • To inform urban planning and public health strategies for an aging demographic.

    Main Methods:

    • Demographic analysis of Ottawa-Carleton's population.
    • Projection of senior population trends based on current data.
    • Review of existing literature on aging populations in Canada.

    Main Results:

    • Ottawa-Carleton's senior population is growing faster than in many other parts of Ontario.
    • The proportion of residents aged 65+ is projected to rise to 15% by 2011.
    • This demographic shift presents challenges and opportunities for the city.

    Conclusions:

    • The "age wave" is a critical demographic trend impacting Ottawa.
    • Proactive planning is essential to address the needs of a growing senior population.
    • Understanding these trends is vital for sustainable urban development and healthcare services.
