Our Centre’s principal aim is to facilitate ground-breaking research on topics relating to health, work, family, aging, and migration that are central to the lives of individuals and vital to the prosperity of societies. To examine these complex issues from multiple perspectives, we have brought together the talents of some of McGill’s premier researchers in sociology, economics, geography, and ep
idemiology. Our 29 affiliated faculty members hold numerous prestigious awards including membership in the Royal Society of Canada and Canada Research Chairs. By creating an intellectual community which promotes the lively exchange of ideas and innovations from different disciplines, CPD will not only foster original collaborative research projects among faculty, but it will also develop rare training opportunities where students are directly mentored by multidisciplinary teams of advisors.
