After The Boom: Canada and the Demographic Shift
Audiobook
Narrated By Christopher M. Michaud
Canada and the Demographic Shift examines the structural changes reshaping Canada in the decades after the Baby Boom. As fertility rates fall, populations age, and the worker-to-dependent ratio tightens, pressures grow across housing, healthcare, productivity, and social cohesion. Rather than treating demographics as abstract stats, this book connects population change to real-world Canadian challenges—rising costs, strained institutions, and generational imbalance. It argues that assumptions about growth no longer hold, and that policy decisions made without demographic realism risk long-term instability. Written in a calm, analytical tone, After The Boom offers a grounded framework for adaptation focused on sustainability, responsibility, and institutional resilience. Read alongside Canadianism: A Calm Alternative for a Fractured Country, it continues Christopher M. Michaud’s exploration of Canada’s long-term cohesion.
