To make cross-time comparisons using the March CPS data more feasible, variables in IPUMS-CPS are coded identically or harmonized across time. This harmonized dataset is also compatible with the data from the U.S. decennial censuses that are part of the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS-USA).
Martinique has a population of 386,486 (January 2013). There are an estimated 260,000 people of Martiniquan origin living in mainland France, most of them in the Paris region. Emigration was highest in the 1970s, causing population growth to almost stop, but it is comparatively light today.
The QuÃ©bec City CMAâs 2016 population report found that the population increased by 0.7% between 2015 and 2016, reaching 807,211 inhabitants. The area relies as much on natural growth as it does on immigration. Additionally, the CMA continues to have a demographic weight of 9.7% in Quebec. It is second only to MontrÃ©al (49.2%). The natural growth rate (births minus deaths) highlights its importance as a demographic improvement factor.
