In Canada, over the last couple of years the average age for marriage has risen from 28 to 30 for females, and 30-32 for men. So even though I am getting married at 27, that is below the national average. I don't if people from BC get married younger or older than people from the Maritimes, but there is a difference between the cities and towns. People who live in smaller cities/towns or more rural areas of Canada tend to get married younger, while Canadians who live in metropolitan areas tend to get married later. The other trend is that Canadians are having children later and having fewer children. If you take away immigration into Canada, Canada is at ZPG (zero population growth).
