Canada's population touched a record high of 40.77 million in 2023, largely driven by temporary immigration, Statistics Canada said on Wednesday.

Infosys Co-founder Narayana Murthy today warned about the consequences of India's high population growth rate and said the country did not put population control on the "front burner" since mid-70s.

Microsoft President Brad Smith says the US companies are facing a "new era", when there are fewer people entering the workforce, but the pressure to pay higher salaries may become permanent. He states major markets overseas have seen outright labour force declines.
