Editorial.

The article focuses on the journal "Canadian Studies in Population," which provides a medium for presenting research results on Canadian population issues. The students of population studies in the U.S. until recently, did not have ample opportunities to meet one another. The formation of the Quebec Demographic Association partly solved the problem. There was general interest on the part of many towards the publication of a Canadian journal in order to provide a medium for presenting research results on Canadian population issues. Several suggestions had been put forward regarding the title of the journal. At one point they were almost decided on the name "Alberta Studies in Populations." Since, to fulfil the need for an all-Canadian journal was their prime objective, it was later altered to "Canadian Studies in Populations." The author presents appreciation to all those people who gave suggestions and advices to improve the quality of the journal. Support given by employees of Populations Research Laboratory for growth and development of the journal is also appreciated.
