Hmm - just looked at the "New Individual" screen on our 1.9 demo - and the Demographics section is definitely included (it's a ways down the form since folks have added a bunch of custom fields):

http://demo.civicrm.org/drupal/civicrm/contact/add?ct=Individual&reset=1

... are you using a different URL for creating a new individual contact? Please see if you can recreate the behavior you're seeing on our demo.

I just tried switching our 1.9 public demo site to fr_CA localization - and the New Individual form still included a Demographics section. Not sure what might be causing your issue - but if you haven't updated to the latest 1.9 distribution, I'd do that. Then go to Global Settings >> Site Preferences and try un-checking the Demographics checkbox under Editing Contacts, Saving, then re-checking it and saving again.

Also, you could try clearing the template cache using the instructions found under Global Settings >> Debugging.

Finally, with debugging enabled you could add &smartyDebug=1 to the end of your URL for the New Individual form and then review the template variables shown in the pop-up window. You should see a variable and value like this:
{$showDemographics} 1
Shooting in the dark a bit, but hopefully one of these will help.

PS - I've just realized: now, whan i do View contact, it does show the Demographics, but when I Edit the contact, the block is not showing (even if the contact has demographics information).

Unfortunately, I had to solve it with step 2 (code modification).

Regardind step 1,  I found a strange situation. There were two rows in my civicrm_preferences tables:

INSERT INTO `civicrm_preferences` VALUES(1, 1, NULL, 1, 2, '

I don't understand when or how the row with the second domain was created. I just have 1 domain in the civicrm_domains table.

Is there a way of make sure that my 1.8 updated tables to 1.9 are OK?  I did not have any error prompting during the update process...
