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.
