The recent decline in women’s fertility intentions in Canada: The shift in the intention schedule and the puzzle for family policy
intention schedule and the puzzle for family policy
Policy and Fertility, a Case Study of the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan
In 2006, the Quebec government implemented a parental leave program more generous than the scheme available through the Canadian federal Employment Insurance (EI) program. It was aimed at maintaining the personal disposable income after a birth, especially for women whose income exceeds the maximum insurable earnings of EI. In this article, we assess whether the implementation of the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) was associated with an in…
Gouverner la sélection scolaire par un instrument: Le cas de la « cote de rendement au collégial » des universités québécoises
La cote de rendement au collégial (CRC) est la pierre angulaire de la gouvernance de la sélection à l’entrée à l’université au Québec. En s’inscrivant dans la perspective de la sociologie de la quantification et dans celle de la sociopolitique de l’instrumentation de l’action publique, cet article vise à saisir le contexte sociohistorique qui a conduit au choix de la CRC, les discours qui justifient ce choix et les conceptions de l’équité qui sou…
Transitions scolaires et accès à l’université au Québec: L’impact différencié des facteurs sociaux, culturels et éducatifs
La structure de l’enseignement supérieur varie d’une société à l’autre, ce qui affecte les parcours éducatifs. Ainsi, au sein de certaines sociétés comme le Québec, il est nécessaire de réaliser deux transitions, la première entre le secondaire et l’ordre ultérieur, le collège d’enseignement général et professionnel (cégep), et la seconde entre ce dernier et l’université. Cette structure incite à se demander comment les différents facteurs sociau…
L’accès à la formation professionnelle sous un régime de reprofessionnalisation
Au Québec, la formation professionnelle (FP) ou formation aux métiers a connu au milieu des années 1970 une désaffection des élèves doublée d’une forte critique sur sa qualité provenant autant des milieux économiques que des intervenants en éducation. Le ministère de l’Éducation du Québec a entrepris un processus de revalorisation de la FP au milieu des années 1980 qui ne semble pas avoir endigué ce désintérêt. Le point de départ de l’article con…
Unmarried cohabitation and its fertility in Ireland: Towards post-Catholic family dynamics
Ireland was known for being conservative in family matters. The 2015 referendum that allowed same-sex marriage and the 2018 one that allowed abortion showed this is no longer true. This article aims at better understanding recent family change in Ireland by looking at changes in values on topics related with family behaviour and change in behaviour related with family formation–the rise of unmarried cohabitation, and childbearing within unmarried…
The effect of union dissolution on the fertility of women in Montevideo, Uruguay
In Uruguay, the recent phase of fertility decline started in the late 1990s, a decade after deep changes in the family dynamics took root in the country. The order and timing of the two phenomena gave weight to the notion that the changes in the family dyn
L’accès à l’enseignement postsecondaire au Québec: Le rôle de la segmentation scolaire dans la reproduction des inégalités
Au Québec, l’enseignement secondaire est segmenté en filières qui forment un système qui favorise la reproduction des inégalités. Notre objectif est d’estimer l’effet de ce système sur l’accès à l’enseignement postsecondaire et de faire apparaître son rôle d’intermédiaire entre l’origine sociale et l’accès. Nous utilisons les données administratives du ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur (MÉES) sur les élèves d’un échantillon …
From France to the Church: The Generalization of Parish Registers in the Catholic Countries
The generalization of the registration of baptism and marriage in the Catholic countries is shown to be the result of a process in which France used the authority of the Council of Trent to impose on the whole Church a system of public registration it had started to implement through temporal law at home in 1539, so that the clerics in charge of the registration be subject to canonical penalties if they failed to comply. The registration of bapti…
The mechanics of the baby boom: Unveiling the role of the epidemiologic transition
Recent research on the baby boom and its causes has shown that common explanations, such as the recuperation of births following the Great Depression or Second World War, are not sufficient to account for the phenomenon. However, that research has stressed the role of increasing nuptiality. In this paper, we argue that the increase in survivorship of children and young people that resulted from the epidemiologic transition accounted for a large p…
Change and continuity in the fertility of unpartnered women in Latin America, 1980-2010
Over the last decades, the proportion of children born to unmarried mothers has been increasing in Latin America while unmarried cohabitation has become more common. One would expect the former to be a consequence of the latter and that the proportion of c
La fécondité au Canada durant le baby-boom . Divergence et convergence des comportements
Au Canada, le baby-boom ne s’est pas déroulé de la même manière dans toutes les provinces. En particulier, l’Ontario et le Québec, les deux provinces les plus peuplées, ont connu des baby-booms très différents. En Ontario, le baby-boom s’est déroulé de manière conventionnelle : l’augmentation de la nuptialité et celle de la fécondité des femmes mariées ont contribué toutes deux à l’augmentation des indicateurs de fécondité. Au Québec, le baby-boo…
Coping with resettlement: A livelihood adaptation analysis in the Mekong River basin
A major driver of change in the Mekong River basin relates to hydropower development and the consequent changes in landscape and natural resource access regime that it induces. In this paper, we examine how the livelihoods of resettlers evolve following resettlement, and examine the determinants of that process. The study takes place in the context of the Theun Hinboun Expansion Project in Lao PDR. Based on longitudinal household surveys conducte…
A tale of two logics: Social reproduction and mobilisation in university access in Quebec, 1945–2000
The 2012 Quebec students’ protests against university tuition fees fostered a debate on access to higher education in Quebec, and specifically on the Quebec ‘educational lag’. Using census data, we show that degree-holding is the same among Quebec French-speaking and Ontario English-speaking populations. Using event history analysis, we show that, during the second half of the twentieth century, university access increased at a different rhythm i…

A matter of norms: Family background, religion, and generational change in the diffusion of first union breakdown among French-speaking Quebeckers
Previous research conducted in societies where unmarried cohabitation remains limited suggests that having grown up with unmarried parents fosters marital instability. There is little research on this relationship in societies where unmarried cohabitation
The contributions of childbearing within marriage and within consensual union to fertility in Latin America, 1980-2010
Research has shown that the prevalence of unmarried cohabitation has increased in most Latin American countries and that childbearing within consensual union, traditionally confined to low-income groups, is becoming socially acceptable among highly educate
Quel est l’impact de la hausse des frais d’inscription sur l’accès à l’université ? L’exemple du Québec
Dans plusieurs pays, les étudiants doivent débourser des droits pour suivre des études universitaires. Certaines analyses tenant compte de l’évolution de l’accès à l’université et celle des droits de scolarité ont démontré que ceux-ci n’ont pas d’effet sur l’accès justifiant ainsi la décision de les augmenter afin d’accroître le financement des universités. Dans cet article, nous critiquons ces études, en rappelant plusieurs précautions méthodolo…
Childbearing within Marriage and Consensual Union in Latin America, 1980-2010
This article compares the fertility patterns of women in consensual union and marriage in 13 Latin American countries, using census microdata from the four most recent census rounds and a methodological approach that combines the own-children method and Poisson regression. Results show that in all these countries, fertility is slightly higher within consensual union than marriage and that the age pattern of fertility is very similar in marital an…

Towards a Geography of Unmarried Cohabitation in the Americas
BACKGROUND: In the context of increasing cohabitation and growing demand for understanding the driving forces behind the cohabitation boom, most analyses have been carried out at a national level, not accounting for regional heterogeneity within countries. OBJECTIVE: This paper presents the geography of unmarried cohabitation in the Americas. We offer a large-scale, cross-national perspective together with small-area estimates of cohabitation. We…
L’union libre, le mariage romain et le mariage chrétien
Au Québec, l’union de fait est un dispositif juridique d’encadrement de la relation conjugale dont l’essentiel se trouve en creux dans le Code civil. Les provinces canadiennes de droit anglais encadrent explicitement la solution de rechange au mariage dans les lois qu’elles consacrent aux « relations domestiques » ou familiales. En France, le PACS et même le concubinage sont traités dans le Code civil. La situation québécoise est originale. Nous …
Confronting the Environmental Kuznets Curve
The environmental Kuznets curve posits an inverted-U relationship between pollution and economic development. Pessimistic critics of empirically estimated curves have argued that their declining portions are illusory, either because they are cross-sectional snapshots that mask a long-run "race to the bottom" in environmental standards, or because industrial societies will continually produce new pollutants as the old ones are controlled. However,…
Nonresident Fathers and Children: Parents' New Unions and Frequency of Contact
Children often lose contact with their biological fathers after their parents separate and form new families. Using detailed longitudinal data on family transitions made by mothers and fathers after separation, the authors examine whether and how changes in the family trajectories of both biological parents affect frequency of contact that nonresident fathers maintain with their children. Approximately half of fathers experienced a change in cont…

The Rise of Cohabitation in Quebec: Power of Religion and Power over Religion
The author develops the hypothesis that the rise of cohabitation in Quebec can be explained by the fact that almost all of its French speaking population was Catholic, and that the Church's refusal to change its doctrine on marriage and sexuality, and to allow laity to play a decisional role in the definition of doctrine, provided Quebec Catholics with the motive to abandon the traditional Christian norms in these matters; the local Catholic auth…

Factors Related to Union Formation among Single Mothers in Canada
Using data on 1257 women from the 1984 Family History Survey our study attempts to identify the factors that are associated with union formation among single mothers in Canada. Particular attention is given to disentangling the impact that three factors--the event at the origin of the episode of single parenthood its time of occurrence and the parental responsibilities borne by single mothers--exert on their propensity to start living with a part…

Les retours aux études postsecondaires: Une expression de l’éducation tout au long de la vie
Cet article vise à comprendre le retour aux études des jeunes adultes canadiens après la sortie de l’enseignement postsecondaire avec ou sans diplôme. Utilisant les données longitudinales de l’Enquête auprès des jeunes canadiens en transition, on montre que le retour aux études est plus fréquent au cours des trois premiers trimestres qui suivent l’arrêt des études. Par ailleurs le retour est influencé par les caractéristiques de la scolarité anté…

Impact of Newsprint Recycling Policies on Canadian Waste Production and Forests
An increasing number of American states have enacted legislation which requires that newsprint contain specified amounts of recycled fibre. By the year 2001, such policies are estimated to save, at most, 3.5 percent of expected Canadian landfill requirements and, for the period 1990-2001, 0.19 percent of the stock of tress on productive forest lands in Canada. If Canada were to adopt similar newsprint recycling legislation, we show, contrary to w…
Le coût d'abandonner le projet Grande-Baleine
Although the increase in future demand for electricity is expected to be smaller than that in recent years, Hydro-Quebec has undertaken to develop certain projects in anticipation of the expected future demand. Among these projects is the Great Whale project. Environmental concerns, the presence of natives, and the federal-provincial dispute over environmental jurisdiction give rise to debates that could jeopardize the realization of the project.…

The wastepaper dilemma: Can newsprint recycling legislation kill two birds with one stone
An increasing number of governments have enacted legislation requiring that newsprint contain specified amounts of secondary fiber. Such policies are seen as a means to alleviate landfill problems and prevent trees from being harvested. The impact of legislation on these two issues is estimated for the period 1988–2010. The cumulative effects of the legislation are estimated to free up 3.4% of the requirements of total landfill space over this pe…
Tarification à l'unité des déchets municipaux: Expériences et discussion
In North America, a large majority of municipalities finance their waste management activities with a fixed annual fee. However, an increasing number of these municipalities is now using a unit pricing scheme for municipal waste. In this paper, we survey the principal characteristics of these schemes and show that they have had a significant impact on waste production, recycling and source reduction activities. Furthermore, we suggest that unit p…

Welfare Measurement Convergence Through Bias Adjustments in General Population and On-Site Surveys: An Application to Water-based Recreation at Lake Sevan, Armenia
This paper compares household survey with on-site survey data for estimating the access value of a unique natural resource using a single-site travel cost model. The household survey model is adjusted for inflated zero observations for respondents who would not visit the site at any observable positive price. The on-site survey model is corrected for truncation and endogenous stratification, the latter being an adjustment for avidity bias. In an …
Household Surveys as a Source of Data for Event History Analysis: The Study of Family-Related Life Events in Argentina Using the Encuesta Permanente de Hogares
The authors introduce a method that allows the use of data from rotating panel surveys, a design used in many household or labour force surveys, to realize statistical analyses similar to event history analysis. The method is illustrated with two examples, one on the dynamics of poverty — the effect of demographic and socioeconomic factors on the hazard of becoming poor in Argentina — and the other on family dynamics — the conversion of consensua…
