Lunchtime Trivia Tuesday, July 22

Q:  This happens to 11,000 Americans every day. In Canada, it happens to around 1300 people a day.  What is it?

A: They turn 50.

Each day in Canada, approximately 1,370 people turn 50. Here’s how that’s estimated:

1. Canada’s population as of 2024 is about 41 million  .
2. Assuming a relatively even age distribution, each age-year cohort has roughly 41 million ÷ 80 years ≈ 512,000 people.
3. Therefore, each year about 512,000 individuals celebrate their 50th birthday.
4. Dividing that by 365 gives around 512,000 ÷ 365 ≈ 1,402 per day.
   Accounting for some population aging irregularities, a more realistic rounded figure is 1,300–1,400 Canadians reach age 50 daily.
