Le vieillissement des groupes linguistiques au Québec
|
| Abstract |
The author notes that the demographic and linguistic landscape of Quebec has been constantly evolving for many decades. The objective of her research was to analyse the differences in demographic ageing of each official language group in the province, and also the age effects on the linguistic mobility. Linguistic indicators such as the mother tongue, the language spoken at home, and the working language were used, with age being the key demographic variable of the author's analysis. The Canadian censuses of 1971 and 2006 provided the data to calculate the different demographic ageing indicators such as the average age, the dependency ratio and the replacement index. The author concludes from the data that the French-speaking group is the oldest but also the one who ages the fastest. She also concludes that language transfers are significant mainly during childhood. After the age of 40, they are very rare. Her conclusion is that generally, linguistic mobility is lowin Quebec and its impact on the demographic ageing is negligible.
