India, June 15 -- Long-term demographic data for Canada highlights a transition from mid-century stability to a recent spike in annual mortality rates.
Decades of Decline
In 1960, Canada reported 7.8 deaths per 1,000 persons. The following thirty years were characterized by a downward trend, eventually reaching a historical low of 6.9 in 1992. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the rate frequently plateaued between 7.0 and 7.1.
