About INED
The French Institute for Demographic Studies or INED, is a public research institute specialized in population studies that works in partnership with the academic and research communities at national and international levels.
- Who we are
  Founded in 1945, the Institut national d’études démographiques (French Institute for Demographic Studies, or INED) stands as one of the major public research institutions in the population sciences. It investigates population issues in all their diversity, disseminates demographic knowledge, and promotes training in and through research. INED’s expertise spans a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines—including not only demography but also sociology, economics, history, geography, statistics, and epidemiology. While a large share of its research concerns France, international comparisons are frequently undertaken and other geographical regions are a strong focus of interest.
  - Our history
  - Our remit
    In 1986, INED became one of France’s eight public scientific and technical institutions (EPST), alongside CNRS, INSERM, INRA and the IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement). The Institute’s overall missions are to study all aspects of population, to provide training in and through research, to keep the government, public authorities and general public informed about demographic questions and to disseminate French demographic research internationally.

Research
Research at INED is organized around multidisciplinary and topic-focused teams made up of its own permanent researchers and associated researchers. Institute research units host doctoral students and post-docs for training in and through research. Over 70 multi-annual projects are under way. For some, INED designs and carries out its own surveys—one of its specificities. Collected data are then made available to the scientific community.
- People
- Research teams
- Research axes
- PhD Students
  INED is placing increasing emphasis on training in research through the practice of research. Every year the Institute hosts PhD students from France and abroad selected on an application basis. Students work under researcher supervision and depending on their thesis topic, they join one or two research teams. They are benefiting from INED work resources and its stimulating environment.
- Postdoctoral researchers and fixed-term researchers
  INED also offers one- or two-year post-doctoral contracts to young French or foreign researchers. Recipients are selected on the basis of their competence, the quality and originality of their research project, and its relevance to INED research areas.
  - Postdoctoral researchers and fixed-term researchers
  - Hosting post-docs
- Surveys
  INED designs and carries out its own surveys. The data thus collected are accessible to the entire scientific community. The Institute has its own survey office, which defines sampling methods, assists in designing questionnaires and drawing up data collection protocols, and adjusts statistical samples. It is also in charge of making anonymized data available to others. INED’s survey catalogue and a description of the projects in progress may be consulted on line.
Resources, Methods
INED makes a vast body of resources on population available to website users, including the INED library, open to all and accessible on line; and presentations of statistical analysis and survey methods.
- Statistical Methodology
  Research relies on a wide range of statistical analysis methods to process survey data and to describe and model demographic events and phenomena on the basis of that data. Alongside classic methods such as data analysis and logistic regression, several other methods have come to the fore in the last 30 years.
  - Event history analysis
  - Multilevel analysis
  - Sequence analysis
  - Resources and seminars
    Seminars on research methodology and practices in France and abroad, articles on method use, and extensive reference lists are just some of the statistics-related resources available

- Survey Methodology
  Each survey is specific but all surveys include a number of requisite steps and phases. Important factors to be taken into account from the outset include survey protocol, sampling frame, budget, regulations, questionnaire testing, data file compilation, and quality assessment. INED’s Surveys Department handles most of the data collection procedures involved in INED research projects. It may assist with data production throughout the process or provide help on particular survey phases only.
  - Procedures
  - Methodological choices
    Every INED survey is designed to investigate a particular research question or set of questions. INED surveys are “custom-made” and in many cases highly innovative. Methodological choices are therefore a key phase of the research. The time required to prepare the survey, design questions, conduct and assess pilot surveys and, later, to evaluate the quality of the data collected must not be underestimated.

Publications
INED Publications has been in existence since the Institute’s founding in 1945, consistent with one of its fundamental missions: to disseminate scientific knowledge. INED Publications reflects and enacts the Institute’s commitment to multi-disciplinarity in demographic research by diffusing and promoting scientific production and survey results and findings to a diverse audience, thereby making solid scientific expertise and knowledge available for public debate on major social issues. Recently, the Open Archive has widened diffusion of free-access published materials while ensuring the continued preservation of INED researchers’ studies.
- Ined Editions
- Ined researchers publications
- Library
  Vast documentary resources on population are freely available on the INED website, including the Institute’s Library, open to all and accessible on line; a selection of related websites; selected articles by INED researchers on a set of population-related themes; and presentations of survey and statistical analysis methods. The Institute’s Library, Documentation and Archives service has become integrated into the Humatheque of the Campus Condorcet. It comprises the collections of over 50 libraries, documentation, and archive centers, all in the service of human and social science research.

- Data
  All about population in Figures: tables on the French and world population and access to several online databases.
  - France
    The latest data on the population of metropolitan France (structure and trends) are given in a series of tables. They are based on data published regularly by INSEE and on INED estimates and projections. More complete datasets dating back to earlier years can also be downloaded in CSV format.
    Evolution of population
    The tables for “All of France” bring together data for metropolitan France and the four overseas départements (DOMs). These figures do not include Mayotte, which became the fifth DOM on 31 March 2011, or the overseas territories and collectivities (New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Saint Barthélémy, Saint Martin, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Wallis and Futuna). INSEE includes the DOMs in its annual demographic overview and in most of the tables in its detailed annual study of the demographic situation in France.
    Total population
    Projections
    Population structure
    The population of France by sex and age is estimated by INSEE each year. A provisional estimate is first issued and final figures are published at a later date. Censuses are conducted in certain years to enumerate the population. The population estimates are adjusted on the basis of census data, for the whole of France and for the different départements and regions.

    Population change
    The population changes from one year to the next. Natural change is the difference between births and deaths, and can be determined precisely from vital records. Net migration is the difference between the number of immigrants and the number of emigrants. It is estimated on the basis of available statistics. Adjustments are sometimes made to establish overall consistency between census population figures and inter-census estimates of population change. To estimate its relative scale, population change is often expressed in relation to the mean population of a given year. Rates of birth, death, natural increase and total variation are obtained in this way.
    Births, deaths, migrations
    Birth, mortality rates, natural increase
    Births, fertility
    Registered births are recorded in statistical bulletins which provide a rich source of information. Births are counted on the basis of many different characteristics: parents’ marital status and nationality, sex of the child, twin births, etc. Information on the mother’s age is used to calculate annual fertility indicators, such as the total fertility rate expressed as a total number of children per woman. Completed cohort fertility is also calculated every year. For example, women born in 1970 were 34 years old in 2004. We know how many children they have had before age 34 and we can estimate how many children they will have during their reproductive life.
    Total births by sex
    Births outside marriage
    Births by parents’ place of birth
    Multiple births
    Changes in fertility
    Mean age at maternity
    Cohort fertility
    Abortion, contraception
    Fertility can be controlled by means of contraception and induced abortion. Information on contraceptive practice in France is obtained through surveys conducted regularly by INED since 1978 among the entire female population. The number of induced abortions is estimated on the basis of abortion notifications and hospital statistics. INED is responsible for publication of abortion statistics.
    Abortions
    Contraception
    Marriages, divorces, Civil Unions (Pacs)
    Marriage registers provide a rich source of information on marriage practices: number of marriages, previous marital status and nationality of spouses, etc. Statistics on divorces and civil unions (PACS) are supplied by the Ministry of Justice.

    Divorces
    Civil unions (PACS)
    Couples, households, families
    The first task in a population census is to enumerate dwellings. Persons living in the same dwelling form a household, so each household comprises all the persons living in a single dwelling. According to the census definitions, a household may comprise one or more families. A family is a group of persons comprising a couple with no children, a couple with children, or one adult and his/her children.

    Household structure
    Structure of families with child(ren)
    Number of child(ren) in the family
    Children of families
    Deaths, causes of mortality
    Death registers provide a means to measure variations in mortality. Deaths by sex and age are used to construct life tables which give life expectancy at birth, i.e. the number of years a newborn infant would live if prevailing patterns of mortality at the time of its birth were to stay the same throughout its life. The mortality of children under the age of one year is also specifically calculated. When a person dies, a doctor records the cause of death on a death certificate which is sent to INSERM where all causes of death are coded.

    International Migration
    Two statistical series drawing on different sources are presented. INSEE uses annual census surveys that provide an overview of net migration and entries and departures of non-immigrants and immigrants (including undocumented foreigners). INED, meanwhile, counts the number of non-EU foreigners admitted who have obtained an initial residence permit of at least one year (AGDREF file, French Interior Ministry).

    Migration flows of non-immigrants
    Characteristics of immigration flows
    Residence permits by continent of origin
    Residence permits by nationality
    Residence permits by reasons for admission
    Immigrants and immigrant descendants
    Population censuses provide an opportunity to count the number of inhabitants who were born outside France. Among foreign-born inhabitants, a distinction is generally made between persons born with French nationality and immigrants, who are born with a different nationality. Inhabitants are distinguished by their nationality, i.e. French or foreign and, among French citizens, those who were born French and those who have been naturalized. The census provides information on current nationality and nationality at birth. Foreigners and immigrants form two different categories. Immigrants "born abroad as a foreign national" may still be foreigners at the time of the census or may have become French. Foreigners, for their part, may have been born abroad (in which case they are immigrants) or in France (in which case they are not immigrants).
