Parcours professionnel:

Benoît Laplante is a sociologist and a demographer. His research focuses on the changes in family dynamics and family structure, especially the diffusion of consensual union, its emergence as a setting for family formation and the changing relation between education level and the choice of consensual union over marriage. The intertwining of English and French private law and of some Nordic-like family policies that shape the context in which individuals make their family-related decisions in Quebec has fostered his interest in the relation between family law, family policies and family demography. Most of his research involves the use of event history analysis-related techniques. He is interested in the development of the use of administrative data in demographic research.
