Revisiting demographics: Another reason why the next decade will be nothing like the last

An article about the affect of an ageing population on housing demand...

From the charts it's interesting to note that while Canada's population is largely between 35 and 60 years of age, Alberta has a second age "bubble" of those that are 20 to 35 years of age. The largest demographic group in Alberta is between the ages of 25 and 29 (it's the only province that the largest demographic isn't in the 45-49 range). Perhaps this puts Alberta, and by extension Calgary, in a position to better weather the boomer's retirement financing sell off?
