• Jean Bourgeois-Pichat Chair in Demography

  The Jean Bourgeois-Pichat Chair on Demography was created in October 2004 under the auspices of the French Embassy and with the support of El Colegio de México, the Institut National d'Études Démographiques (INED) and the Institut de la Recherche pour le Dévéloppement (IRD). It is named after a famous French demographer who participated in the founding of the INED in 1945, an institution that he directed between 1962 and 1971 after having served for ten years as Director of the United Nations Population Division (1953-1962). The purpose of this Chair is to recognize the extensive work of this demographer and, more broadly, the contributions of French schools of demography.
