From 2000 to 2005, population has increased from 4,017,700 to
4,351,400, while the composition of citizens has decreased from 74%
to 71.5%, a geometric decrease of 0.685% per year (0.5% per year
arithmetic).
Shows that we are losing more citizens through migration than the
authorities would let us know.
If the trend in decreasing citizens continue, when we reach 6.5
million population in 50 years time, we would have 50.70% citizens,
while Permanent Residents and Others would make up 49.30%.
(71.5%) X (1 - 0.00685)^50 = 50.70%
