Members of racialized groups are younger<br />
The age pyramid for people from racialized communities presents a very different shape<br />
than for the immigrant community. There is a far higher proportion of young people among<br />
racialized groups <strong>in</strong> all age categories under 44 years than among <strong>Toronto</strong>’s total<br />
population. This higher proportion is especially pronounced <strong>in</strong> age categories compris<strong>in</strong>g<br />
children and youth.<br />
By contrast, <strong>in</strong> all age brackets over 49, there is a lower proportion of members from<br />
racialized communities than from <strong>Toronto</strong> as a whole. Please refer to Chart 3.<br />
