Item New Brunswick population and demographic counts: 2019-2022(New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training, 2023-10) Beykzadeh, Ali; Jones, Bethany; McDonald, Ted; Miah, PabloIn 2021, the New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training (NB-IRDT) released the first report in a Population and demographics count series that provides a snapshot of the population of New Brunswick each year. These reports measure the total population count of New Brunswick and include information on New Brunswickers' demographic and geographic characteristics, as well as movement to and from the province. Each new update provides an overview of how the population has changed since the previous report was released, allowing us to see whether NB is attracting new residents and if individuals who previously left are now returning. This is the fourth report in the series, and it updates our population snapshot by comparing annual results from January 2019 until December 2022.Item New Brunswick population and demographic counts - June 2022(New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training, 2022-07) Balzer, Andy; McDonald, Ted; Mokhtar, RawiaThis report is the second in a series of ongoing reports that will be published by the New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training (NB-IRDT) in December and June of each year. These reports provide an overview of changes to the New Brunswick (NB) population that have occurred since the previous reporting period. The first report contains additional background information about this project. The current report (June 2022) not only updates the measures reported last October by extending the original study period to investigate population movement from January 1, 2020 to July 1, 2021, but it also describes results for additional or modified measures not included in the first report. Additional measures include NB Returnees and Intra-Provincial Migration, and modified measures include Migration Periods, Immigrant Status, and NB Geographies. References to the first report are included in cases where the methodologies align.Item New Brunswick population and demographic counts - December 2022(New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training, 2023-03) Beykzadeh, Ali; McDonald, TedThis report is the third in a series of ongoing reports that will be published by the New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training (NB-IRDT) twice each year. These reports measure the total population count of New Brunswick (NB) by different demographic and geographic characteristics, as well as the magnitude of interprovincial inflows and outflows. Each new release provides an overview of changes to the New Brunswick population that have occurred since the previous reporting period. The first report1 (October 2021) provides historical data on the NB population for the years 2010-2020 and serves as a benchmark for consecutive updates, including this one. It also contains additional background information on this project. The second report2 updates the descriptive statistics in the first report by extending the original study period to investigate population movement from January 1, 2020, to July 1, 2021 (Quarter 1, 2020 to Quarter 2, 2021). It also describes results for additional or modified measures not included in the first report. The study period for the current report is Quarter 3, 2021 (beginning July 1, 2021) to Quarter 2, 2022 (ending June 30, 2022). This report updates core statistics from the second report while comparing results from the current study period with earlier results from Quarter 3, 2020 to Quarter 2, 2021, when the methodologies align. It presents modified measures for some previous categories of interest, including migration periods, immigrant status, and NB geographies. It also adds new indicators, including NB Returnees and Intra-Provincial Migration. By providing detailed insight into population composition and migration trends in NB, these reports inform research on population dynamics in NB and, in turn, economic growth and development. 1 Balzer, A., McDonald, T., & Mokhtar, R.

Fredericton, NB: New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training.Item New Brunswick population and demographic counts - October 2021(New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training, 2021-12) Balzer, Andy; McDonald, Ted; Mokhtar, RawiaThis report is the first in a series of semi-annual reports that will be published by the New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training (NB-IRDT) in October and March of every year. These reports provide an overview of the New Brunswick (NB) population and changes that have occurred in the population since the previous reporting period. Timely data on population flows are useful for informing public policy across a range of areas, such as immigrant retention and mobility and the mobility decisions of graduates from post-secondary education. These updates also provide a robustness check on population estimates periodically reported by Statistics Canada.
