Fuzzy Definitions and Demographic Explosion of Aboriginal Populations in Canada from 1986 to 2006
In their common desire to conduct research and gather information on Aboriginal social issues, demographers and other specialists in populations, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, have often neglected two basic questions: Why is it so hard to define Aboriginal populations in Canada? How can the recent demographic explosion be explained? The answer to these questions is essential, since they play a significant role in the enumeration of Aborigin…
Intergenerational Patterns of Fertility Among Registered Indian Teenage Girls in Canada
In 2004, Registered Indian teenage girls aged 15 to 19 had a 94‰ fertility rate, 7 times the average Canadian rate for the same age group. Despite various general studies on the subject, there has been little interest in the past on the intergenerational character of teenage fertility. Analysis of data from the Indian Register of the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) reveals that, among Registered Indian teena…
La situation démographique des groupes autochtones du Québec
Les estimations du nombre des Autochtones au Québec vont d'à peine 50 000 à près de 140 000. En dépit de cette imprécision, on tente de décrire la structure d'âge de cette population et de cerner les mécanismes de son renouvellement: la fécondité, la mortalité et la mobilité ethnique qui fut certainement très importante récemment comme en témoigne le très fort accroissement des Autochtones durant la dernière décennie
La fécondité des Inuit du Nouveau-Québec depuis 1931
Choinière Robert et Robitaille Norbert. - La fécondité des Inuit du Nouveau-Québec depuis 1931 : Passage d'une fécondité naturelle à une fécondité contrôlée L'étude de l'évolution récente de la fécondité de la population inuit du Nouveau- Québec montre le passage d'une fécondité naturelle à une fécondité contrôlée. Cette évolution correspond à la théorie de la transition démographique, avec une deuxième phase marquée par une diminution de la féco…
The Inuit Population of Northern Quebec
The Inuit population of Northern Quebec, 5,000 approxi mately in 1981, is scattered in fourteen villages along the coasts of Hudson Bay, Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay (Figure 1). None of these villages had, in 1981, more than a thousand Inuit and the proportion of non-Inuit in most of these villages was negligible. The purpose of this paper is to compare the present demographic situation of the Inuit of Northern Quebec, to its past trends and like…
The fertility of the Inuit of Northern Québec
The fertility of the Inuit of Northern Québec went through many changes during the last fifty years. We observe, at first, a decline during the thirties followed by a recovery, in the early forties, stopped momentarily between 1946 and 1956. The fertility reached a summit around 1961 to drop sharply afterwards. In spite of this important decrease, the fertility of the Inuit remains much higher than the generations replacement level. We will try t…
The inuit population of Canada
In the 1981 Census, 25,390 people reported themselves to be of Inuit origin. This communication investigates the demographic future of this group until 2001. After presenting the geographic distribution, the recent evolution and the age structure, hypotheses about fertility, mortality and migration are stated. Then, the main results of the projection are presented
