title: [Quebec's population decline:  if it is foreseeable, is it avoidable?].
abstract: "Quebec's fertility is the lowest in Canada, and it is most likely that its population is heading for a decline.  In this paper, the authors try to make explicit some of the scenarios which could prevent this decline.  They first briefly present the current trends and specify the assumptions used in the simulation.  Then, they analyse the results by investigating the onset of the decline and the maximum size of the population.  And finally, they present some of the replacement scenarios which may prevent the decline."  (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
