Animated population estimates pyramid (age and sex)See the animated pyramid population estimates (age and sex) for 1921 to 2020 (updated October 7, 2020). Shifts in the age distribution result from changes in fertility, mortality and migration for specific age groups. The relative size of the major cohorts in Alberta’s population is largely due to the differences in the size of the cohort at birth. For instance:
