Profile of Laurentian English-speaking Youth 15-29

According to data published by the Institut de la statistique du Québec in 2020, the population living in the administrative regions of the province has significantly changed between 2019 and 2021, being directly affected by the social impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for out-migration, mobility, workforce attractivity, work/life balance, lifestyle habits and leisure activities. As a result, it is estimated that 632,000 inhabitants were living in the Laurentian region as of July 1, 2020. This represents an increase of 17.7% for the year 2019-2020, which is higher than the average rate across the province (8.5%) for that year. In fact, it is important to highlight that this region presents the largest increase since the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020.
