Volume 38 (2), Spring 2013 2013 Congress The countdown to the 2013 Congress is on. The faculty and staff at the University of Victoria (UVic) are working hard to complete the festivities for the over 7000 delegates that will arrive on campus this June. The 82nd Congress will host numerous events. This includes the Big Thinking lecture series, the Expo, and Career Corner. The full calendar of events can be viewed on-line. Of special interest to CPS members, there has been an important shift in the demographic composition of the population at UVic. The once abundant rabbit population has migrated to greener pastures, some as far away as Texas. In addition, high fertility has led to the rapid growth of the deer population on campus. Apparently below-replacement fertility is not a hot topic among deer. The deer can be observed all around campus or happily feasting on edibles from off-campus gardens. Of course, the CPS program is the highlight of the Congress, though I am sure that many of you will find the time to see the deer or take a stroll down the hill to the beach at Cadboro-Gyro Park . I extend our collective regards to the Program Committee,

the session organizers, and all those who submitted a paper. The excellent work of these people has ensured another good crop of demographic research for us to reap this June. This year’s meeting is preceded by the International Symposium on Aging Families and the Graduate Research Development Conference. Thanks to Zheng Wu and Ruth Kampen for organizing the Symposium and to Stacey Hallman and Georgios Fthenos for their work on the Graduate Conference. The Population Change and Lifecourse Cluster has generously sponsored both of these events. All of this food for

our thoughts will be supplemented at our annual banquet. No deer will be served but you might see some ducks in the pond!

Cadboro Bay Beach Message from the Vice-President Dear CPS Members, You will find in this issue of the CPS Newsletter the final program of our next annual meeting to be held at the University of Victoria from June 5 to June 7. Thanks to the exceptional work of the session organizers, we will have an excellent Conference in BC’s capital. With near 50 communications accepted, I believe that all CPS members will find something of interest. Of course, there will be sessions on the different components of population changes, including key results from Census 2011, and sessions on demographic methods, including microsimulation. After all, that’s the bread and butter of demographers. Immigration issues appear to be of particular interest with three sessions and 12 papers devoted to the theme. Family demographers will also find food for thought with a formal session on family and another special session on Canadian family in the 21st century. Additional challenges related to aging societies will be addressed in formal sessions of our conference on social support and well-being and

health and aging. While the conference opens with sessions on immigration issues, it closes with communications on social diversity, where religion, economic integration and language issues of immigrants will be addressed. You might also plan to arrive earlier and attend the International Symposium on Aging Families scheduled on June 3 and 4. I’m looking forward to see you all in Victoria. — Alain Bélanger, CPS Vice-President

ASSOCIATION NEWS Population Change and Lifecourse Cluster (PCLC) Cluster Event in Ottawa Faculty and students actively engaged with people from the policy sector through discussions of research findings and policy issues, and collaboration on data and research. Arising from the interaction were various suggestions that the Cluster should pursue in the near future. The Cluster March 27-28 Event held in Ottawa consisted of:

A one-day conference on Income, Health, and Social Programs in an Aging Population;

A business meeting on Data and Collaboration, Consultation on LifePaths, and Updates and Consultation on Cluster Activities;

A Write for the Reader/Research Brief Workshop There were 106 participants, mainly Cluster members from universities and policy persons in federal agencies and a few from the provincial government ministries. Among the participants were 15 Directors or Directors General from the Cluster’s partner agencies. The one-day conference focused on four topics: (a) population change and inequality; (b) labour demand and supply; (c) longevity and retirement; and (d) longevity, health and inequality. Presentations were made by researchers with expertise on the topics, which were then commented upon by persons in policy positions. Participants were systematically assigned to tables to have diversity and to enhance interaction between academic and policy people. The session on “Data and Collaboration” stemmed from the heightened interest for collaboration with academic sector researchers, given the reduced budgets for research

within government. The session also aimed at promoting various data sets, in particular the use of administrative data that are becoming available for research. The Cluster seeks to determine how it can be of assistance, especially with regard to training in the use of data and in supporting research collaboration. The Modeling Division at Statistics Canada is undertaking a consultation on LifePaths, and the Cluster wants to be included in this consultation. Cluster members are encouraged to be involved in the further consultation that will occur. The updates on the Cluster activities and its plans, together with the presentations from the Cluster thematic committee leaders, generated various suggestions that will be pursued by the Cluster in the near future. Expected outcomes of the “Write for the Reader – Research Brief Workshop” are research briefs written by graduate students who participated in the training. These briefs will be released by the Cluster in the next few months. Students Receive Grants Eleven students from 9 universities across Canada received grants to attend the Cluster March 27-28 event in Ottawa. And, in the recent April Competition, the Cluster awarded grants to 13 students from 6 universities.

Seven will travel to Busan, South Korea to present papers at the 27th Conference of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population in August.

Four will present papers at national conferences in Canada: the Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences in Victoria, the Meeting of the Canadian Association for Health Services Research and Policy in Vancouver, and the Annual Conference of the Canadian Public Health Association in Ottawa.

Two will undertake training: one at the Western Summer School of Longitudinal Analysis for two weeks in May and another at Statistics Canada for two months this summer.

FEATURE INTERVIEW

In this issue of CPS News, Michael Haan interviews Alain Bélanger, CPS vice-president. Dr. Bélanger is a professor in the Center on Urbanization, Culture, and Society at INRS University. What drew you to demography? I have a Bachelor’s degree in History. I was interested in socioeconomic history, comprising subjects such as the price of wheat and the demographic crises during the Ancien Régime, or the concentration of the means of production in pre-industrial

France. I was particularly interested in the French Annales School of historiography, which emphasized the role of large-scale socioeconomic factors on history. When travelling in France, I bought books by Fernand Braudel, Pierre Chaunu, Pierre Goubert, and Ernest Labrousse. During my Bachelor’s degree, I also took a class in historical demography given by Hubert Charbonneau, then a professor in the Demography Department at the Université de Montréal. At the end of the class, he told me that I would be an excellent demographer. He was recruiting for the department, and I was young and easy to influence. What are your primary demographic research interests? I have both methodological and substantive interests. On the methodological side, I have always been interested by population models and population projections. I wrote my master’s thesis on population aging and health care costs, and then moved to the University of Colorado at Boulder to do a PhD with Andrei Rogers. When I began my doctoral studies in the mid-eighties, event history analysis was just beginning to emerge in the social science. Andrei was interested in merging multistate demography and event history techniques. I went to IIASA on the YSSP program and wrote a paper on multistate tables with duration dependence, but that was not the real answer. From my readings, I realized that event history was the technique to be mastered and I did a dissertation on the determinants of family sequential migrations using SIPP, a US longitudinal survey that, I suppose, inspired Statistics Canada when they developed the SLID. In the end, it took me nearly 20 years to find the real answer to Andrei’s question, which came to me when I developed the PopSim Model to project ethno-cultural diversity at Statistics Canada. Population projections using microsimulation is now my main research interest. I believe that microsimulation is a formidable tool to produce research projects that have the potential to give substantive scientific insight and influence social policies. On the substantive side, my first research interest was migration. My first job at StatCan was migration analyst in the projection section. When I moved to the Research and Analysis section, and particularly when I became editor of the Annual Report on the Demographic Situation in Canada, I had to develop an interest for all the different components. Over the years, I researched fertility differentials, contraceptive methods, healthy life expectancy, common law union formations and dissolutions, and gains in life expectancy by cause of death. It was a great job for someone curious like me. However, there are some topics that are difficult to discuss as a demographer working at StatCan. Anything that gets close to policy implications necessitates a lot of between the line writing skills, not necessarily one of my strengths. Now that I have moved to academia, I have more freedom to discuss policy implications and I developed new research interests in demolinguistics, immigration, and integration.

CPS Newsletter, Spring 2013

Do you apply demography in your work? If yes, how? I have been fortunate enough to almost always get to apply demography in my work, as an analyst in the projection section of the Demography Division at StatCan and later as Chief of the Analysis and Research Section. Even before that, however, I worked as a research assistant at INRS while doing my master’s degree at Université de Montréal. The only time I didn’t use demography in my work was when I became Assistant-Director for the Census. That job was pure management; I disliked it. Not that it was difficult, but I didn’t like having 7 hours of meetings per day, doing staffing procedures during lunch, and reading internal reports in the evening. Since moving back to an analytical position was not an option, I looked outside and was fortunate enough to find a professorial position in the demography program at INRS. What do you think are some interesting demographic issues arising in Canada? In my view, immigration and integration are the most interesting current demographic issues in Canada. For a quarter of a century, Canada has had one of the highest immigration rates of all developed countries. Through good times and bad, we as a country admit a quarter of a million immigrants a year, most of them highly educated, but also coming from diverse cultures. This immigration is rapidly changing not only the image of Canadian largest metropolitan areas, but also its population. It has economic, social, cultural and political consequences. In a sense, I suppose that I abide by David Coleman’s point of view and see that process as a Third Demographic Transition. Unfortunately, the integration process has not been as successful as was hoped, particularly on the economic integration side. In Quebec, immigration is also important and its consequences are, at least socially and culturally, even more important than in the rest of the country. In particular, the language choices of allophone immigrants and their descendants have dramatic impact of the linguistic equilibrium of the only Canadian province where French is the language of the majority. What advice would you give to those entering the field of demography? Arguably there aren’t enough young people in the discipline, and perhaps this is one area that we need to work on. What would you say? Demography is the most technical discipline of the social sciences. I think that what distinguishes demographers from other social scientists is their methodological skills. Good students in demography are still finding jobs in their field of study. I think that I would encourage younger people entering the discipline to develop good methodological statistical skills. What do you do for fun? Good question. I’m tempted to answer doing research; it would allow me to escape from a personal question. I truly enjoy doing research, particularly with my

exceptional PhD students, but that’s probably not what you want to hear. I’m head of a single-parent family. I have two adolescents that I love very much. It takes most of my leisure time, but it is not always fun, so that’s not the answer yet. I like biking, and when I was younger I did a tour of France (not le Tour de France) on a bike. Now, I’m taking a Bixi to go to work, it’s almost fun. I like golf, but have no time to play. I’ll see after retirement if it’s still fun. I like to travel too, that’s why I’m doing so many presentations in conferences. I’ll stop here, otherwise I’ll start talking about Lucie and it might get really too personal for this CPS newsletter.

MEMBER NEWS BEAUJOT, Roderic. Roderic Beaujot has several new publications. This includes an article on the social capital and economic integration of visible minority immigrants in Canada. The article is co-authored with Muhammad Raza (lead author) and Gebremariam Woldemicael. The article is published in the Journal of International Migration and Integration. CPS members will also be interested in his article titled “Why do we still need a Census,” to be published in the Canadian Geographer this year. In addition, Rod has co-authored (with Ching Du and Zenaida Ravanera) a study comparing family policies in Quebec and the rest of Canada. The article will appear in an upcoming issue of Canadian Public Policy. BURCH, Thomas K. In November I was invited to give a paper at the Social Science History Association (in Vancouver) in a session to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the landmark work on household and family demography – Household and Family in Past Time, edited by Peter Laslett and Richard Smith. I was the only original contributor to the book to participate. My paper is entitled: “Household and Family in Past Time, Substantive and methodological reflections 40 year on.” My reflections were rather critical. It's an interesting case study of how a work can become well-known and influential despite many flaws. The December 2012 issue of Sociologica, Italian Journal of Sociology Online, contains my invited comment on a paper by Giuseppe A. Micheli entitled “Gestalt switches in the idea of context: a macro dimension of the world for every theory of action.” [Who said demographers don't do theory?] MATTHEWS, Deb. Deb Matthew has been re-appointed Ontario’s Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. She brings a demographer’s perspective to the transformation of our health care system as we move from a system created to meet the needs of a younger population to one that meets the needs of an older one. MCDANIEL, Susan. The Prentice Institute for Global Population & Economy is pleased to announce that our Director, Professor Susan McDaniel, FRSC, has been awarded the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. In a ceremony held at the University of Lethbridge on February 26, 2013, Dr. McDaniel was honoured to receive her award from Professor Yolande Grisé, President of The Royal Society of Canada, and the Society’s Executive Director, Darren Gilmour, as well as from the senior administration at the University of Lethbridge, notably Andrew Hakin and Daniel Weeks. This is the first time ever that a President of the Royal Society has visited the University of Lethbridge. Susan was nominated by the Royal Society which received large numbers of nominations, all of which were peered reviewed by Fellows of the Royal Society. This award is given in recognition for Susan’s outstanding contributions to Canada and the world through her research, publications and service to society, public policy and to the Royal Society of Canada, where she has selflessly given her time and talents. We are privileged, as stated by Madame Grisé, to have Susan as part of our community, both here at the University of Lethbridge and at the helm of The Prentice Institute.

Special Panel Session: Making the most of Statistics Canada's linked Census and Administrative Data Files: Exploring the Research Potential of the 1991 Census Linked File

Sponsored by the Population and Life Course Cluster and the Thematic Committee on Health Inequalities Over the Life Course of the PCLC.

Statistics Canada is developing a number of linked survey, census and administrative data files which over the next few years will made available to approved researchers in the Research Data Centres or at Statistics Canada. These linked files include the 1991 Census file linked to vital statistics and cancer data. It is linking other census files such as the 2006 and 1996 Census to mortality to explore birth patterns. As well, the Agency is currently working to expand for research purposes the linkage of surveys such as the Canadian Community Health Survey to vital statistics, cancer and administrative health files (DADS).

This panel explores the research potential of Statistics Canada's linked census and administrative data files. It looks at some of the research done to date and it examines the research potential for demographers, population modelers and health researchers.
