Demographic Components of the Francisation of Rural Québec : The Case of Rawdon
Description
Analysis of the population, migration, and marriage patterns of Rawdon, Québec, as they relate to a growing percentage of predominantly French speakers in that region. From the author: "This paper is an empirical examination of the processes by which a rural area of Québec originally colonised by anglophones has become increasingly francisised. While popular imagery associates French Canadian population growth in Québec with very large family sizes and with the outmigration of anglophones, no studies currently exist which attempt to measure the relative impact of each factor. In addition, other contributing demographic variables may be examined for their effects on population changes, notably the proportion of persons who marry, mortality statistics, age at marriage, and child-spacing."
