Christophe Bergouignan

Christophe Bergouignan is a Professor of Demography at the University of Bordeaux, where he conducts research at the Centre for Comparative Labor and Social Security Law (COMPTRASEC), a joint unit with CNRS.

• University: University of Bordeaux
• Research Unit: COMPTRASEC (University of Bordeaux & CNRS)
• Previous Role: Director, Institute of Demographic Studies (2006–2011)

His research spans local to global demographic dynamics, focusing on population projections, mortality in conflict zones (Kosovo, Burundi), the HIV-AIDS epidemic in France, fertility in sub-Saharan Africa, and the relationship between population growth and ecological footprint. He has contributed to studies on precarious populations through collaborations with the Gironde Observatory of Precarity and Poverty (OGPP).

Recent work includes analyzing the impact of successive lockdowns on settlement desires in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and examining assumptions in global population projections, particularly concerning fertility trends. His research integrates spatial demography and socio-health dimensions.

The available publications show a strong trend in using demographic modeling to understand health and conflict-related mortality, as well as generational disparities in disease impact. His work bridges empirical analysis with policy-relevant insights on population change and sustainability.

• Using microsimulations to study crisis mortality: illustration by mortality in Burundi in 1993 (2011)
