title: [Three projections of population decline for Quebec:  characteristics and implications for the working population].
abstract: "After a brief review of various projections of population decline for Quebec, the author analyses some previous examples of depopulation, and emphasizes that public opinion will have to change much if immigration is to be used as a tool for avoiding population decline.  He then investigates four implications of the projected decline:  the size of the working population, its age and sex structure, the labor force participation ratio, and the economic dependency ratio."
