Sophie Lanthier, Alana Button, and Amy Kaufman have published a new report for the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario on the topic of domestic postsecondary enrolment trends. Drawing on 2015-2022 enrolment data from the Government of Ontario and Statistics Canada, the authors project that domestic enrolment will grow by 45% over the next 24 years as the 18-to-24-year-old age group begins to grow again. They project that this increase would not be evenly distributed across credentials, programs, or institution type. The authors note that, without adequate planning and funding to create the 225,000 new seats required by 2046, students could face high competition for existing seats.
