Useful your society stats:
total population hit a record 5.7 million

Citizens accounted for 3.5 million of the 5.7 million, while the rest were made up of permanent residents (PRs) and non-residents who include foreigners who work here and international students. [the alarming observation is only about 60% of population is citizens]

what matters is the age profile of the population, rather than size.

greying population in which one in four people is aged 65 or older by 2030.
