AGE, SEX AND CONJUGAL CONDITION 19 males as females. Among the linguistic groups, the Germanic immigrants were lowest with a third or 33 p.c. more males than females ; the Slavs stood next with a surplus of 38 p.C.; the Scandinavians had 75 p.c. more males than females, and the Italian and Greek immi- zrants ranked highest with a surplus of 88 p.c. These differences are based on data for all ages. When the analysis is confined to the adult section of the population, the proportion of surplus males is much greater, as among children the numbers of the sexes tend to be equal.

The foreign born females have not only married to a greater extent than the Canadian and British, but have married an the average considerably younger. These facts have an important and obvious bearing on the future population structure of the Dominion. The foreign born males also tend to marry younger than the Canadian and British oorn males. The difference is so marked that in spite of a large shortage of immigrant women, the foreign born males between the ages of 15 and 25 years show langer percent- Ages married than the British or Canadians. It is of interest to note further, that there is a much larger proportion of unmarried foreign born males in the far east and far west of Canada than in the central provinces. 14499
