The age distribution of the Canadian people : a study based on the Census of 1931 and supplementary data / by Murdoch C. MacLean.: CS98-1931CM-2E-PDF
"This monograph is one of a series analysing and interpreting the data obtained by the Decennial Census of 1931. In this monograph, however, data from previous censuses are used almost as extensively as the data of 1931. The study deals first, in Chapter I, with the evolution of the Canadian age distribution from 1881 to 1931. ... A classification is then made, in Chapter II, of the 220 counties and census divisions of Canada in 1931. For the purpose a threefold age index is used. This index defines the age structure by means of the percentages under 25 years of age and 65 years of age and over and a quantity called "standard age." In Chapter III, functional aspects of age distribution, the most important of which are taken to be percentage bom in province of residence, age of settlement and resident death rates, are discussed and their relation to the previous classification by age structure is shown. In Chapter IV, the study considers the age structure of cities of 6,000 population and over. Eight of these are selected and subjected to a special analysis for the decades 1911-21 and 1921-31, in order to determine the effect on age structure in urban centres of movement as opposed to that of death and ageing"--Pref., p. 3.
