Health Reports: Transitions to long-term and residential care among older Canadians
The proportion of Canadians aged 65 years and older was 17% in 2016 and is expected to rise to 20% by 2024, based on Statistics Canada’s current demographic projections.

A new article released in today’s Health Reports examines other demographic and health factors that affect transitions to long-term care.
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Data Hub
The 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted on September 25, 2015, by the United Nations General Assembly. The 17 SDGs are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. They cover a broad range of social and economic development issues, with a focus on the most vulnerable and a commitment that “no one will be left behind.” In order to measure and monitor progress on the SDGs, high quality data and information are required. To do this, the government of Canada is launching the SDG data hub, hosted by Statistics Canada.
