Officially launched on March 14, 2019 and based at the Université de Montréal, the Observatoire québécois des inégalités will promote the dissemination and popularization of content dealing with inequalities in income, opportunity and quality of life. The Observatoire will inform the public debate with scientific knowledge, in addition to evaluating with evidence the impact of inequalities on affected populations.

CIRANO will collaborate with the Observatoire through research projects.
