The
Institut National d'Études Démographiques (INED - National Institute of Demographic Studies) is a French public establishment. It was created on
October 24,
1945 by the ordonnance n°45-2499, which dissolved
Alexis Carrel's
Fondation française pour l'Étude des problèmes humains ("French Foundation for the Study of Human Problems"). Alexis Carrel had been discredited because of his
collaborationist role during
Vichy France and his implementation of
eugenics. Thus, famous
demographist Alfred Sauvy (who coined the expression "
Third World") was chosen to direct the new institute. The founding juridical text defined as such the mission of the institute: "The INED has as task to study
demographics problems under all their aspects. In order to do so, the institute gathers any useful documentation, opens up investigations, proceeds in experiences and follows experiences done abroad, study material and moral means susceptibles to contribute to the
population's quantitative augmentation and qualitative amelioration and insure the diffusion of scientific knowledge." The INED published the monthly letter
Population & Sociétés, directed by Gilles Pison, and the bimestrial scientific review
Population.
Successive directors:
- Alfred Sauvy (1945 - 1962)
- Jean Bourgeois-Pichat (1962-1970)
- Gérard Calot (1972-1992)
- Jacques Magaud (1992-1995)
- Patrick Festy (1995-1998)
- François Héran (depuis 1999)
