Demographic Decline of English Speakers in Certain Regions of Quebec
|
| Abstract |
The authors note that while 2021 census data reflect a recent increase in English usage in the Montreal and Gatineau areas, a more complex portrait emerges when examining other parts of Quebec and longer time periods. They show that the 20th century was marked by a decline in the proportion of English speakers in most Quebec regions. The trend has shifted in the past 20 years, yet a notable decline continues in parts of coastal Quebec, the Eastern Townships, and Rouyn-Noranda. The authors also show that many of the communities experiencing decline face aging populations, high unemployment, low income and a lack of job opportunities.
