The Institut national d'études démographiques (INED)

Founded in 1945, the role of the Institut national d'études démographiques (INED) is to "study demographic problems in all their aspects. To this end, the Institute will collect the relevant documentation, conduct surveys, carry out experiments and follow experiments conducted abroad." In its early days, INED was also responsible for "studying the material and moral means which may contribute to the quantitative growth of the population and its qualitative development, and ensuring the dissemination of demographic knowledge".
