Description

The population age structure in Alberta (the number of Albertans at each age) is expected to change by 2020 and 2030, especially for those 60 and older, whose proportion of the population is expected to increase from 16 per cent in 2010 to 20 per cent by 2020 and 22 per cent by 2030. The purpose of this Public Health Surveillance Bulletin is to estimate the effect of population age structure on the direct health care system cost in 2020 and 2030.
