Immigration
The countries with the three largest immigrant groups come from are Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. These larger groups will bring multiculturalism and different cultures, religions, and customs to Winnipeg. Immigration is important to Canada because many immigrants bring knowledge and skills to Canada, which can benefit the country. Also, immigrants can increase population, which is tied to economic and world power. Another reason immigration is important to Canada is that it brings multiculturalism and diversity, which can make people more open minded towards other races and cultures. One problem immigration brings is that Canadians are running out of job options and openings because the population is increasing and the immigrants are taking up the available jobs. Another problem immigrants bring to Canada is that we need more resources to help out the immigrants as they come to Canada. Many immigrants don't speak English, and require classes and help to adjust to Canada.
Population
The bearing brackets is the most populated bracket with 68.8% of the population in those brackets. Winnipeg has a low dependency load, with only 31% of the population in the dependency load. With a lower dependency load, And a large bearing population, more money is being made, and less money is spent on resources for the dependency load. One negative part of having a low dependency load is when the baby brackets grow up and become the bearing brackets, and the bearing brackets now become the old brackets, there won't be enough bearing brackets to take care of the highly populated old brackets. Winnipeg's population pyramid is unstable because if it was stable, it would be more populated at the baby brackets and less populated with the bearing brackets, and even less population with the old brackets. The "bulge" in the population pyramid is with the ages 45-54. They are referred to as the baby boomers. The next largest "bulge" is with the ages 20-34. They are known as the baby boom booms. In 15 years I predict that there will be a large population in the old brackets as the baby boomers and the baby boom booms grow up. Also, the bearing brackets will have a smaller population.
