Quebec population projected to decrease due in part to immigration policies, fertility rates | CBC News

Quebec is projected to face a population decline over the next decade due to lower birth rates and aging, according to a report by the Institut de la Statistique du Québec. However, this trend may be offset by temporary immigration. The region has also seen increased emigration throughout the pandemic, contributing to potential long-term population challenges. Temporary immigration is seen as a solution to this issue, with experts suggesting policies to attract and retain immigrants to maintain a stable population and workforce.
