星期四, 四月 11, 2024

“Canadian governments of all stripes have for many years touted Canada’s economic growth using the overall GDP growth rate.

Key Points: 
  • “Canadian governments of all stripes have for many years touted Canada’s economic growth using the overall GDP growth rate.
  • But because of Canada’s massive spike in population in recent years, not adjusting GDP growth for population changes provides a misleading picture of the country’s economic performance,” said Ben Eisen, senior fellow at the Fraser Institute and co-author of GDP Growth Unadjusted for Population Change—a Misleading Measure of Canada’s Economic Progress.
  • For example, between 2020 and 2023, Canada had the second-highest rate of overall GDP growth in the G7.
  • However, after adjusting for population growth, Canada’s per-person GDP growth rate over the same period is near the bottom of the group and well below the G7 average.
