She is a demographer who served as director of the Center for Demographic Studies at the UAB, from its creation in 1984 until 2014, and then became its honorary director.

Cabré was born 18 October 1943, in Barcelona, Spain.[2] In 1961, she won a pre-university scholarship at 17 and went to the United States to study. On her return at 19, she married a Spaniard who was living in Paris because he had political refugee status in France. She lived there for 14 years.
She studied Political Science and Economics at the Institute of Demography of the Sorbonne University in 1967, where she worked with Alfred Sauvy, Louis Henry and Roland Pressat. She then taught demographic analysis at University of Montreal (1969), University of Chicago (1969), Sorbonne University (1970), Paris Nanterre University (1970–1978) and the College of Mexico (1973 and 1981).[3]
In 1978, she became a professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and received her doctorate in 1989 at UAB. In 1984, she was named the director of the Center for Demographic Studies and authored numerous articles on demography. Her professional career has been closely linked to Jordi Nadal, and she has collaborated on several occasions with Isabel Pujadas i Rúbies.[4] Her primary interest is in demographic prospects and historical geography of the population of Catalonia. She has appeared, as an expert, in several commissions of the Spanish Congress of Deputies and the Parliament of Catalonia.
In 2010, Cabré became a member of the Institute of Catalan Studies, forming part of the Philosophy and Social Sciences Section. She remains an honorary director of the Center for Demographic Studies and is a professor emeritus at Autonomous University of Barcelona.
