1 Population Growth and Demographic Changes in Halton-Peel Phase I Report: Demographic Analysis September 2000

2 1.0 Background and Purpose District Health Councils are the local voice for health system planning. Made up of people who use and deliver health and related social services, the Council works in partnership to provide advice to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care on local health planning needs and the development and implementation of a balanced and integrated health system. There are 16 District Health Councils representing 16 health planning districts in the province of Ontario, each of which as its own unique set of characteristics and population based needs. With knowledge of ministry policy directions, local provider capacities, and health needs of the population, District Health Councils are uniquely positioned to help shape the local health care service delivery system in order to best meet the needs of the population. In the Fall of 1999, the District Health Council initiated a multi-phased project aimed at gaining a better understanding of population growth and demographic changes and their potential impact on future utilization of health care services. This report summarizes the findings of the first phase of this project and is focused on understanding the population growth and demographic changes in Halton and Peel set in the context of the province of Ontario. Future reports will summarize additional phases of work, which will focus on projections of utilization for hospitals, projections of utilization for community services and future service models. Other District Health Council projects will use this baseline data to outline needs in specific areas such as physician and health human resources, long term care, mental health, etc. The purpose of this series of reports is both to educate and inform/guide ourselves as we undertake to plan for the health care needs of the population; for the providers of health care in Halton and Peel to use and incorporate into their own internal planning; and for the government in setting policy and allocating funds to meet the needs of the population. 2.0 Methods Population estimates and projections were obtained from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Provincial Health Planning Database for comparative data at the provincial and district health council level. Halton and Peel Regional Municipality Planning Departments provided population projections at the municipal level that more accurately reflected local population planning issues. Demographic characteristics including ethnicity, immigration, language, income and education were obtained from the 1996 Statistics Canada Census. Census data were analyzed at the county level (Halton and Peel) and also included Ontario data for comparison purposes. 1

5 3.0 Findings 3.1 Population Growth In 1996, there were almost 1.3 million people living in Halton and Peel Regions, representing the second largest planning district in the Province, on a population basis (Figure 3). In 2016, the population of Halton-Peel planning district is projected to be almost 2 million. Figure 3.

6 From 1996 to 2016, the Halton-Peel planning district is projected to experience a growth rate of approximately 57%, compared to a provincial average of approximately 25% (Figure 4). This projected population growth will result in an increase of over 50% in the size of the population, which will approach 2 million people in Although Halton-Peel shares the distinction of having the highest growth rates in the province with the Simcoe-York planning district, in absolute numbers, there will be significantly more people in Halton-Peel.

7 In fact, the proportion of total Ontario growth will be highest in Halton-Peel. From 1996 to 2016, 2,760,000 new people will live in Ontario (this refers to net growth, including all in/out migration, births and deaths). Out of the 2,760,000 new Ontario residents, over 25% will reside in the Halton-Peel planning district, representing an additional 707,000 people (Figure 5). In absolute numbers, this is significantly more than any other area of the province and is equivalent to adding a population greater than the current City of Mississauga. Figure 5.

8 Figure 6 demonstrates where the growth is projected to occur in Halton and Peel by municipality. Growth is projected to occur in all municipalities across the planning district. However, Mississauga and Brampton will have the largest absolute growth. It is important to note that Brampton, Milton and Caledon are all projected to double in size. Figure 6.

9 The proportion of total Halton-Peel growth will be highest in Brampton. Over the next 20 years, over 232,000 new people are projected to reside in Brampton (Figure 7). Figure 7.

This includes all infrastructure services, such as roads, utilities, schools, and health care services. 8

10 3.2 Changing Demographics Not only is the Halton-Peel population growing, but the demographic profile is changing in two significant ways. First, the population is aging faster than other parts of Ontario and, second, the population represents one of the most culturally diverse in the province Aging Population pyramids are a useful graphical representation of the changes in age and sex composition of the population. The horizontal bars on a population pyramid represent the percentage of each age and sex group relative to the total population. Figure 8 shows the population pyramid for Halton-Peel and its change from 1996 to In absolute terms, the shape of the pyramid changes significantly above the age group. Although the population of Halton-Peel is frequently referred to as a young population, this analysis clearly demonstrates that over the next 20 years we will see a significant change. Figure 8. Halton-Peel Age and Sex Distribution, 1996 and Males Females Percentage 1996 (total population: 1,232,000) 2016 (total population: 1,939,000) Source: Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Provincial Health Planning Database; Queen s Printer for Ontario,

11 The population aged 65 and older is growing at the fastest rate in the province. Figure 9 shows the top five fastest growing planning districts among aged 65 and older in the province. Figure 9.

12 Figure 10 shows the growth in the population aged 65 and older in the top five largest planning districts in the province by population aged 65 and older. In 2006, Halton-Peel is projected to have the second largest population aged 65 and older in Ontario. Figure 10.

13 Figure 11 shows that by 2016 there will be 844,000 additional residents aged 65 and older in Ontario compared to The largest percentage of these additional persons aged 65 and older (20.0%) is projected to reside in Halton-Peel. Figure 11. Proportion of Total Provincial Growth Aged 65+ by District Health Council, Other DHCs 24.0% Waterloo Wellington Dufferin 5.9% Durham HKPR 7.8% Halton Peel 20.0% Champlain 9.6% Simcoe York 15.8% Toronto 16.8% (100% = 844,000 persons) Source: Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Provincial Health Planning Database; Queen s Printer for Ontario, 2000 The prevalence of illness increases with age, as does the use of medical services. In 1993, persons aged 65 years and older, who represented 11.4% of the total Canadian population accounted for approximately 40% of total direct costs (Health Canada, Economic Burden of Illness in Canada, 1993). Direct costs included hospitalization, physician care and drug expenditures. However, a greater proportion of total direct costs on the population aged 65 and older may represent appropriate utilization for this age group. In addition, although population aging contributes to rising health care costs, it is important to recognize that other factors such as inflation and increasing drug costs also contribute to overall rising health care costs. 12

14 3.2.2 Cultural Diversity Cultural values and beliefs may influence health seeking behaviour and utilization of health care services. Identifying particular communities with diverse ethnic groups may help health system planning to reduce potential barriers for these populations. The Statistics Canada 1996 Census definition of ethnic origin refers to the ethnic or cultural groups to which the respondent s ancestors belong. However, reporting of ethnic origin may represent a limitation as ethnicity may be misinterpreted as citizenship, nationality or language. Furthermore, it is also important to recognize cultural variations and differences may exist within a single ethnic group. The Halton-Peel planning district represents a culturally diverse population. Figure 12 and Table 1 demonstrate that Peel is more culturally diverse than Halton, as measured by respondent ethnic origin. In 1996, approximately 50% of Peel residents indicated a single ethnic origin other than British or Canadian, compared to approximately 23% in Halton. Figure 12.

16 Immigrants refer to individuals who have been granted the right to live in Canada permanently by immigration authorities. This category excludes non-permanent residents and nonimmigrants who are Canadian citizens by birth. Recent immigrants represent a population that may have different health care needs and different levels of health care utilization. Recent immigrants may also lack familiarity with the health care system and thus have less accessibility to health care. In 1996, 40% of the Peel population were immigrants as opposed to 23% in Halton and 26% in the province (Figure 13). Of those immigrants in Peel Region, 22% were recent immigrants (immigrated into Canada between ) (Table 2). Figure 13.

17 Effective communication is essential in receiving health prevention messages and adequate health care. Residents who do not know either English or French language may have reduced access to health information and services and are at greater risk of social isolation. In 1996, 0.6% of Halton population and 3.1% of Peel Region population could not converse in either English or French (Table 3). Table 3.

18 Population by home language also demonstrates the cultural diversity in Peel (Table 4). In Peel, 19.1% of single responses indicated a home language other than French or English. The top five languages spoken at home in Peel after English were Punjabi, Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, and Italian. Table 4.

19 3.2.3 Income and Education Studies have increasingly shown income to be an important determinant of health. Individuals with higher incomes have greater health (lower morbidity, greater life expectancy, fewer potential years life lost, higher self-rated health status) than those with lower incomes. Low income rates may help identify populations who have increased risk of illness and mortality, as well as increased utilization of health care services. In the 1996 Census, Statistics Canada set the low income cut-offs at 20% higher than what the average family spends on basic necessities (food, shelter and clothing). Low income cut-offs are updated annually by changes in the consumer price index and are set for unattached individuals, and for different sizes of families. In 1995, Halton and Peel Regions had a lower proportion of residents living below the low income cut-off point compared to Ontario (Table 5). Although, the proportion of residents classified as low income was greater in Peel relative to Halton. Table 5. Proportion of Low Income, Halton, Peel and Ontario, 1995 Halton Peel Ontario % % % Economic families* Unattached individuals Total population in private households * Economic families refers to a group of two or more persons who live in the same dwelling and are related to each other by blood, marriage, common-law or adoption. Source: Statistics Canada Census,

20 Education is also an important determinant of health. Evidence from the literature demonstrates that individuals with higher education are healthier than those with lower education. Although this effect is likely to be related to income, increased decision making skills, coping skills and locus of control which are all primarily associated with education are important determinants of health. In 1996, 4.9% of Halton residents and 8.0% of Peel residents reported having less than grade 9 education as opposed to 10.0% in the province of Ontario (Table 6). Table 6.

21 4.0 Conclusions At a population of approximately 1.3 million in 1996, Halton-Peel represents the second largest planning district in the province. Halton-Peel is projected to be one of the fastest growing planning districts in the province from 1996 to Halton-Peel s population is projected to increase by 707,000 from 1996 to Halton-Peel is projected to be the fastest growing planning district in the province among people aged 65 and over from 1996 to The Halton-Peel planning district includes a culturally diverse population. Halton and Peel Regions differ with respect to demographic and socio-economic indicators. Identifying demographic and socio-economic indicators is necessary for planning present and future health system needs. Further research should attempt to translate the projected population growth and changing demographics into the need for health services in the Halton-Peel planning district. 20
