Founded in 1945, the Institut national d’études démographiques (French Institute for Demographic Studies, or INED) stands as one of the major public research institutions in the population sciences.

While a large share of its research concerns France, international comparisons are frequently undertaken and other geographical regions are a strong focus of interest.
