The Evolution of Mortality Rate in Canada from 1990 to 2022

Canada's mortality rate declined from 6.8 in 1990 to 4.3 in 2022, reflecting sustained investments in public health and a high standard of living. By 2000, the rate had reached 5.3, supported by universal healthcare and advanced medical technologies that reduced infant and maternal mortality.

From 2000 to 2022, the rate stabilized, with minor declines reflecting continued improvements in chronic disease management and elder care. The low mortality rate demonstrates Canada’s effective healthcare delivery, although challenges such as aging populations and healthcare access in remote areas remain priorities.
