NATIVITY AND LENGTH OF RESIDENCE 17 great. Other European stocks increased relatively four times as rapidly as did the British between 1901 and 1911, and constituted in 1921 almost twice as large a proportion of our population as they did in 1901. The Asiatics increased three times as fast relatively as the British stocks in the first decade of the century. Increases in the foreign content of the Canadian population were not so great in the last decade, chiefly on account of arrested immi- gration. With economic readjustment in Europe, however, joined to the United States’ policy of exclusion, immigration, it is expected, will be renewed, with probable further shift- ing in the balance of the different stocks in Canada. It will be shown below that such an event will be hastened by abnormally high rates of natural increase, especially among the peoples from Southern, Eastern and Central Europe. NATIVITY AND LENGTH OF RESIDENCE (1) In 1921, 97 p.c. of the French and three-quarters of the British stocks were Canadian born. The Dutch, Germans, Swiss and Icelanders from the North and West of Europe, and she Ukrainian, Austrian, Polish and Russian peoples from the South, East and Central parts of the Continent, showed proportions Canadian born ranging from 50 p.c. to 80 p.c., the figure for the Germanic group being the highest. Though the Slavs and the Latins and Greeks both showed larger proportions Canadian born than the Scandinavians, a relatively large propor- tion of the latter group was born in the United States, so that from the standpoint of date of arrival on this continent, the Scandinavians with the Germanic peoples belong to the sder immigration. (2) While the Germanic and Scandinavian stocks from the North and West of Europe generally may be regarded as the older settlers on this continent, and the Latin and Greek and Slavic peoples as on the whole the more recent arrivals, it should be borne in mind ‘hat there are exceptions to any such general rule. The Belgians from North Western Europe are recent arrivals, while the Austrians, Czechs and Russians from Central and Eastern Europe show almost as small proportions born outside Canada and the United States as some of the stocks classed among the older immigrants. (3) Passing to the proportions of our total population Canadian born and born outside of Canada, there has been a marked decrease in the proportion Canadian born and a cor- Cuarr II PERCENTAGES or POPULATION or CANADA BORN OUTSIDE or CANADA 190! ano 192 lay SPECIFIED NATIVITY.
