And there is no reason asking Y.
:)
I chose this subject because of the wide variety of information available, but also because of how Alberta has now become my home and I am a part of the statistics listed being a foreign born immigrant along with having moved from the East Coast to Alberta because of lack of work.
The goal is to show the population growth within Alberta from 1901 to 2011 which is provided by Census Canada, while making predictions for the following ten years up to 2021.
This data was acquired from Wikipedia and confirmed using the Immigration and Ethnocultural Diversity in Canada website which showed identical numbers for year each listed.
Alberta has seen a steady increase of population from 1991 to 2011 of about 200,000+ individuals per year, but as we have no idea what will happen within the economy regarding jobs and growth in the future I have made my estimate based on a rise of 200,000+ is to be expected for 2021.
By my estimate using the calculator to predict future population growth I have estimated:
Y = Ax(sq)+Bx+C
A = 231.8399301
B = -876539.5428
C = 828713603
Y1 = 231.84x(sq)-876539.24x+828713603
Future predictions for Alberta given the information provided show:
By 2021 we should reach a population of 4164309.
By 2031 we should reach a population of 4793071.
Immigration as a whole is a positive thing. As the population ages and enters retirement, many of those being the finial baby boomers a younger population is needed to take over and enter those now absent jobs. Immigration fuels not only the Alberta economy but all of Canada.

DeleteI miss you in class.
Nicely done :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
Deletewow better then mine
ReplyDeleteYours looks great! I just commented on it :)
DeleteWhich city do you think will have the greatest increase in growth 5 years from now?
ReplyDeleteWhen going through my data the highest city each year was Calgary, given that I would suspect Calgary given the higher job opportunity :)
DeleteInteresting topic, it always grabs my attention to read about something with actual relevance to our everyday lives.
ReplyDeleteI had wanted to originally focus of marriage and divorce rates in Canada since 1950 onward but couldn't find solid statistics but Alberta has amazing track records year to year of their population growth through the big cities.
DeleteWhy Do You Think Nova Scotia Has The Lowest Percentage Change Compared To Other Places?
ReplyDeleteAs it turns out, it's not because of a lower birth rate than prior years but because of the boom out west that caused younger people, and subsequently their children, to be moving away. New Brunswick however has people moving back but usually during their retirement.
DeleteWhat do you think government officials should do to make sure population doesn't exceed the resources available?
ReplyDeleteThe first change Alberta would have to make, and is actually currently starting investment into, is solar and air power. Solar and low waste producing materials would cover housing issues we face, building up rather than out to save space should we see the giant growth predicted.
DeleteFood is not Alberta's biggest issue, yet, we have more than enough to get by should the population jump, food v.s. population is a global issue rather than provincial for us.
Nice organization and well done with all the information. Now I am learning something about Alberta.
