Bachelor in Demography and Statistics

Do you have an interest in analyzing quantitative data regarding major societal issues? Demography and statistics combine in this unique program in Quebec to respond to the challenges of our contemporary societies. Demography is the study of the renewal of populations through the combined effect of fertility, mortality and migration. Combined with knowledge of statistical tools, this discipline makes it possible to better monitor the evolution of demographic phenomena and to understand their causes and consequences on social functioning.

This program helps you learn about the social issues and the factors that explain, in Quebec and elsewhere in the world:

• The aging of populations
• The intensification of migratory exchanges
• Declining fertility levels
• The diversification of family forms and residential arrangements
• The increase in human longevity
• The evolution of medical causes of death
• The ethnic diversification of populations and the integration of immigrants
