[Dynamics of female single parenthood in Canada].

"In this article we look at the timing and duration of episodes of single parent status during the life course of various cohorts of women. The analysis was carried out with the help of retrospective data from a Canadian family survey carried out in 1984 which had a sample size of over 7,000 women. The results, derived from life-table techniques, show that over one woman in three was likely to experience a period of single-parent status at some time in her life at the risks current in 1984."

[Departure of children and contraction of the family as observed in the 1971 and 1981 Canadian censuses].

An analysis of data from the 1971 and 1981 Canadian censuses is presented concerning children leaving home. "It is estimated that the timing of children's departure from their family of origin was almost the same in 1981 as in 1971; median age at departure was identical: 20.5 for women and 22.3 for men. Broken families, more numerous than in the past, become contracted earlier than unbroken families; among unbroken families, the contraction phase started earlier in 1981 than in 1971 among large or medium-sized families while it began later among small families."

[Family life cycle in Quebec: comparative views, seventeenth to twentieth centuries].

A comparison of the family life cycle in Quebec at the end of the seventeenth century and in the middle of the twentieth century is presented. "For both periods, calculations of comparative indices were carried out in the absence of mortality and divorce. This allows the emphasizing of the outstanding features of the family life cycle....In particular, the considerable reduction in the duration of the extensive phase [is noted; this] is linked to the significant drop in fertility, and the emerging of a long phase of stabilization during which the parents are responsible for all their children. Finally, an examination of the proportion of undissolved families at each stage clearly shows the dramatic impact of mortality on family life in the past." (summary in ENG, SPA)
