  • Title: [Social demography in Quebec: a preliminary account].
    Author: Piche V.
    Journal: Sociol Soc; 1987 Apr; 19(1):9-23. PubMed ID: 12315212.
    Abstract:
    "The goal of this paper is to review those explanatory models that dominate social demography in Quebec. The classical organization of demography, which calls upon the three components of demographic reproduction--fertility, migration and mortality--is followed. The concluding part of the paper deals with the concept of 'demographic regime', which aims to bring the three components together into an overall theory of demographic reproduction. The paper shows that if the functionalist and empirical tradition (mostly American) has dominated the field of demography for a very long time, feminist and materialistic approaches have recently appeared for the interpretation of demographic realities."
