Quebec and Its Regions: Evolution, Comparisons and Experiences Abroad (Part 2)

Part 1 of this Economic Viewpoint looked at federal and provincial government actions in Quebec from the late 1950s to the present day. In Part 2, several indicators have been selected to illustrate how the regions evolved during this time period and the changes that took place. Why look at regional dynamics during a pandemic when all eyes are focused on Greater Montreal’s recovery? Because the Montreal region and peripheral zones are closely linked and it is important to know how they compare to the metropolis. But the objective is also to take note of the gains that all of Quebec’s regions have made over time.
