The segment of the population 15 to 34 years of age is considered to
be the population that is starting jobs, purchasing first homes and having
children. This map exhibits some interesting patterns that contrast well
with the other age group maps. One notable pattern is the higher proportion
of early working years people in urban centres. This age group migrates
to urban areas to seek employment opportunities. There are lower proportions
of this group in many other regions of the country. For example, the agricultural
regions of the Prairies, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia all show low
proportions of early working years population.
