Population projections for Newfoundland and Labrador are produced periodically by the Economics Division of the Department of Finance. The current projections were produced in October 2023.

The projections provide population by age (five-year age cohorts) and gender for various levels of geography in Newfoundland and Labrador until the year 2043.

Three different projection scenarios are available. The medium scenario is considered to be the most likely scenario and is the one used by government for planning purposes.

A Population Projection Simulator is also provided which allows users to observe the sensitivity of population projections to changes in key assumptions.

Questions and requests related to the projections should be addressed to the Manager of Modelling and Technical Analysis.
