What does it mean ?

Basic to any understanding of Canada in 20 years after the Second war is the country's impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in 1996.

Can you explain the meaning of " For every there Canadians in 1945, there were over five in 1996. "?

Thanks , I think your explain suffices. It means that the Canada 's population was 5/3 times as many as it was in 1945.
