Auteurs : Mathews GDate 1987, Vol 128, Num 1, pp 4-14Revue : Journal de la Société de statistique de ParisType de publication : article de périodique;Résumé
Recent trends in fertility and population growth in Quebec are reviewed. The author notes that the postwar decline in fertility has affected Quebec more than any other developed region. The consequences of the baby bust are considered, including demographic aging and its socioeconomic effects. The author suggests that an actual decline in population numbers may occur within 15 years. The need for a resolute family policy to counteract these trends is stressed. (SUMMARY IN ENG)
