The Center for Demographic, Urban and Environmental Studies of El Colegio de México paid tribute to Julieta Quilodrán for her outstanding work in teaching and research in the field of demography for over four decades.

Speakers at the tribute emphasized her outstanding performance as a professor and researcher in demographic analysis. Mention was also made of the fact that Julieta Quilodrán is a pioneer in research on family and marriage. She has spent forty years researching the transformations in marriage, families and fertility in Mexico and Latin America and is a worldwide reference in demography. She has also trained several generations of demographers, in whom she has instilled the value of the rigorous use of all the methodologies in demographic analysis.

Parejas conyugales en transformación - which Julieta Quilodrán compiled-, was also presented. This book documents the changes that have occurred from a demographic point of view in the sphere of marital and family life using various quantitative, qualitative and legal methodological approaches.

The tribute and the book presentation were held on April 23 at El Colegio de México. Teresa Castro, Robert McCaa, Beatriz Figueroa, Viridiana Sosa, Manuel Ordorica and Silvia Giorguli participated in the ceremony. Lastly, Julieta Quilodrán gave a brief message of thanks. The speeches of those who participated in the event, preceded by an introduction by Silvia Giorguli, director of the Center for Demographic, Urban and Environmental Studies of El Colegio de México are given below.
