Who is 65 in 2011

Using birth records, it is possible to identify, by birth year of mothers, the proportion of births that occurred during the baby boom period Figure 3.

Based on this demographic criterion, the parents of baby boomers generation can be defined as all individuals born during this year inter-war period.

According to Census data, 3. These people were aged between 71 and 92 in Figure 2. Using the same data and method, it is possible to calculate, by birth year of children, the proportion of those children whose mother is a baby boomer Figure 4.

The children of baby boomers generation can therefore be defined as all individuals born during this year period. According to Census data, 9. These people were aged between 19 and 39 in Figure 2. This generation is often called Generation Y or 'echo of the baby boom. Interestingly, the children of baby boomers generation was smaller 9. Baby boomers had fewer children than their parents. Fertility dropped from 3. Immigration still contributes to the increase in the size of the children of baby boomers generation, while it is less the case for the baby-boom generation.

While growing up, many members of the children of baby boomers generation were influenced by changes that affected their parents.

These include increases in separation and divorce rates, increases in female labour force participation, increases in institutional day care, and rapid technological change. Other generations, located between the three generations identified in this document can be described using the age pyramid of the Canadian population in Figure 2 and Table 1. World War II generation includes people born between and During that time, the number of births registered every year increased from , in to , in About 1.

These people were aged between 66 and 70 in People born between and can be referred to as baby busters. These people were born at a time when fertility rates were rapidly decreasing in Canada. The number of births decreased from , in to , in , a drop of 54, in only 6 years. About 2.

This mostly reflected the increased death rates at older ages which leaves many people widowed, and a higher proportion of people living in cared accommodation at older ages. In every age group of older people, women were less likely than men to be living with a spouse or partner, and more likely to have other living arrangements such as living alone, living with a child or other relatives, or in cared accommodation.

This is largely because women are more likely than men to outlive their spouses, reflecting both their higher life expectancy and the fact that wives are on average younger than their husbands. As well as the older people's natural, adopted, step or foster children these included dependent and non-dependent grandchildren where the grandchildren's parents were not themselves living in the family.

The median age of the non-dependent children was 36 years. Proportion of older people who lived in a private dwelling with a spouse or partner a a Proportion of all older people at home on Census Night. This includes those living in non-private dwellings who may have a spouse or partner, but for whom relationship in household is not collected. This represented , older women and , older men living alone.

For both men and women the proportion living alone increased with age. As with all living arrangements except living with a spouse or partner, this was a more common living arrangement for women than men. In the 65—74 years age group, for example, 3.

Of the 8. There were different family compositions among older people living with a child or children. The most common arrangement was an older person living with their child or children only 4. There were also multi-generational families, where an older person lived with their child and grandchildren, with or without the child's partner 1. An older person may live with a child for many reasons including the desire for family living rather than living alone, age-related frailty or disability and financial reasons.

Some of these households may be long-standing and may include households where the parent is caring for the child. The great majority of older people who lived in non-private dwellings were residents, only 0. Non-private dwellings are establishments which provide a communal type of accommodation, as shown in the categories below. In contrast, Units in a 'Retirement village self-contained ' are classified as private dwellings and are therefore not on the list below.

In this article, older people living in cared accommodation were those in the asterisked non-private dwellings in the list below on Census Night, and it was their usual address. This is consistent with the more rapid increase in the 85 years and over population than years population see ' Who are Australia's Older People?

Also, changes made progressively since the s allow older people to 'age in place' by providing care to people in their homes. There was not a large gender difference in the proportion in non-private dwellings among people aged 65—74 years 1.

This may be because very old women tend to have more severe levels of disability than very old men see ' Who are Australia's Older People? In addition, women are more likely to outlive their partner, and very old people with disability are more likely to move to cared accommodation if they do not have a partner. Endnote 4 Very old persons a , proportion living in non-private dwellings b , — a Persons aged 85 years and over. This pattern may reflect that people's choices about living arrangements are influenced by their need for assistance with everyday activities.

It can also partly reflect age differences between people in these different situations. Higher median ages were recorded for people living with a child 77 years and people living alone 76 years compared with people living with a spouse or partner 72 years or with other relatives 73 years.

Older people in private dwellings, rate of core activity need for assistance by selected living arrangements Core Activity Need for Assistance People with Core Activity Need for Assistance need help or assistance in one or more of the three core activity areas of self-care, mobility and communication, because of a long-term health condition lasting six months or more , a disability lasting six months or more , or old age.

Of people aged 65 years and over, 6. There was variation among older people in respect to the proportion away on Census Night, with people aged 65—69 years having the highest rate of any five year age group 7. This represents 2. Of the 2. Private homes may be set in different types of locations. Among those aged 65 years and over , people lived in retirement villages, with almost two-thirds of this group being women.

Additionally, around 22, older people lived in a caravan, cabin or houseboat. A further way of understanding how older people live is to look at the kinds of activities they do. Endnote 6 Consistent with this, for most of the twentieth century, the general expectation for men was that they would retire from work at 65 years of age, a mandatory retirement age for many, but not all, types of employment.

In more recent years, decisions about whether and when to retire are likely to depend on a number of factors including the consideration of health, financial security, and other personal reasons, as well as current economic conditions and demand for labour.

Endnote 7 One aspect of financial security is personal superannuation. During recent decades, successive Australian governments have legislated compulsory superannuation contributions by employers and provided incentives for Australians to save for retirement.

Endnote 8 Currently, superannuation may be accessed from the age of 55 years. Endnote 9 In , a smaller proportion of men in each age group was employed than in In contrast, with the exception of the teenage years, women's participation in employment was much stronger in than in In , labour force participation for women was dramatically lower in the prime child raising years 25—34 years compared with younger age groups , and due to the social norms at this time, the majority of women never returned to work.

Endnote 10 However, in , apart from a longer but shallower dip for the child-bearing and raising years as they balance their paid work and their family arrangements, women's employment by age group was closer to the male pattern.
