McGill’s Centre on Population Dynamics and the Vanier Institute of the Family are pleased to invite you to this hybrid conference which will be held in-person in Montréal, Canada, or virtually on August 20, 2026.
Learn from experts from across North America how we can face our demographic future with facts, not fear, and develop policies that respect reproductive autonomy, promote gender equality, and support all types of families.
This event will bring together leading demographers, family scientists, economists, reproductive health researchers, and policy analysts to examine the implications of low fertility, dispel common myths and misperceptions, and propose pro-alignment policies to help people avoid both unintended and unrealized fertility and foster demographic resilience.
