The Centre on Population Dynamics (CPD) is a multidisciplinary community of scholars dedicated to creating and disseminating new knowledge on the transformative demographic and health changes occurring across the globe. Research conducted by CPD members lies within several intersecting areas of demographic research: Family Dynamics; Social and Economic Determinants of Health; Education, Skill Acquisition, and Labour; Migration; and Aging. These broad themes encompass a diversity of research topics. For example, our work on families includes child marriage, intergenerational wealth transfers, and changing definitions of families themselves. Our research on social and economic determinants of health ranges from estimating the impacts of social policies on health inequalities to exploring the social and economic challenges and opportunities related to novel clinical interventions. We use primarily quantitative methods to generate descriptive and causal evidence in research based across Canada and in countries around the world.聽
Based at 澳客竞彩 in Montreal, Quebec, the Centre is rich in expertise, with 65 active faculty members, over 50 graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and staff. Our members represent 18 academic departments across 4 faculties at 澳客竞彩 (Arts, Medicine and Health Sciences, Management, and Science) and 6 other universities. Eight faculty members are jointly appointed in two departments. Interdisciplinary collaboration is at the heart of what we do. Our research is funded by the Canadian Tri-Council as well as Canadian and international sources such as IDRC, the US National Institutes of Health, the French Institut national du cancer, the Health Effects Institute, and the Spencer Foundation.聽聽
CPD鈥檚 dynamic research and training environment is exemplified by our flagship Population Dynamics seminar series. Our faculty and students welcome and engage with international and Canadian scholars who present their current work. We sponsor additional conferences in service of building an intellectual community, bridging disciplinary boundaries, and generating excellent research that addresses challenges facing our societies. Our close collaborations with the , the Consortium on Analytics for Data-Driven Decision-Making, and the complement our strengths and create a vigorous research and learning ecosystem.聽
Le Centre sur la dynamique des populations (CPD) est une communaut茅 multidisciplinaire de chercheurs qui se consacrent 脿 la cr茅ation et 脿 la diffusion de nouvelles connaissances sur les changements d茅mographiques et sanitaires qui se produisent dans le monde entier. Les recherches men茅es par les membres du CPD s'inscrivent dans plusieurs domaines crois茅s de la recherche d茅mographique : Dynamique familiale ; D茅terminants sociaux et 茅conomiques de la sant茅 ; 脡ducation, acquisition de comp茅tences et travail ; Migration ; et Vieillissement. Ces grands th猫mes englobent une grande diversit茅 de sujets de recherche. Par exemple, nos travaux sur les familles portent sur les mariages d'enfants, les transferts de richesses interg茅n茅rationnels et l'茅volution des d茅finitions des familles elles-m锚mes. Nos recherches sur les d茅terminants sociaux et 茅conomiques de la sant茅 vont de l'estimation de l'impact des politiques sociales sur les in茅galit茅s de sant茅 脿 l'exploration des d茅fis et opportunit茅s sociaux et 茅conomiques li茅s aux nouvelles interventions cliniques. Nous utilisons principalement des m茅thodes quantitatives pour produire de l鈥櫭﹙idence descriptive et causale dans le cadre de recherches men茅es au Canada et dans d'autres pays.聽聽聽聽
