Rationale

HYPOTHETICAL: Immigration reduction from 483k to 380k PR combined with aging baby boomer cohort creates structural demographic pressure. Dependency ratio rises. Labour force growth slows. Healthcare demand increases while tax base narrows. This is a model-driven projection connecting confirmed immigration cuts to demographic outcome variables.

Details

Epoch: 118

Domain: demographics

Fiscal cost estimate: +$0.00B CAD net (RIPPLE-derived; LLM omitted)

Variable changes

  • pr_admission_target: {"new": 380000, "old": 483000}
  • temp_resident_population_pct: {"new": 4.8, "old": 5.5}

Proposed policy move

pr_admission_target: 483,000 → 380,000 (▼ -103,000)
temp_resident_population_pct: 5.5 → 4.8 (▼ -0.7)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
