Cultural Constructions of Demographic Inquiry: Experiences of an Expatriate Researcher in Tunisia
The average number of children per woman in Tunisia has declined from about seven in the mid 1960’s to about five in the early 1980’s, but the change has been slower over the last part of this period. In attempting to understand Tunisian society and its childbearing situation, we address questions of (1) sex roles, (2) conflicts over models of development and (3) tribal loyalties. The state has attempted to change sex roles, but there remain powe…

W hy do we still need a census? Views from the age of “truthiness” and the “death of evidence”
This viewpoint reports on a multidisciplinary panel held at the 2012 CAG/Congress meeting that brought together a number of researchers with important expertise on census‐related issues. They were asked to tackle the question: “Why do we still need a census?” Their presentations generated dialogue based on both Canadian and international experiences with recent changes in census data collection approaches. The article presents some cautionary obs…
Family Policies in Quebec and the Rest of Canada: Implications for Fertility, Child-Care, Women’s Paid Work, and Child Development Indicators
Given its unique demographic situation, and its desire to be in control of its own destiny, Quebec has evolved family policies that differ considerably from those of the rest of Canada. Quebec’s tradition of civil law, in contrast to common law in the rest of the country, has meant that there was already a tradition of alternative forms of marriage in Quebec. The extent of cohabitation, along with the greater policy attention to family questions,…

Les auteurs examinent les déterminants possibles des modèles de la répartition des revenus et des activités de soins chez les couples canadiens. En utilisant l'Enquête sociale générale—L'emploi du temps (ESG), ils énumèrent cinq modèles de division du travail: complémentaire‐traditionnel, complémentaire‐genre inversé, double tâche de la femme, double tâche de l'homme et rôles partagés. Tandis que le modèle complémentaire‐traditionnel est en décli…
Welfare Regimes for Aging Populations: No Single Path for Reform
We consider recent trends in pension policies in OECD countries in light of demographic aging associated with welfare regime type (Liberal, Social Democratic, Continental, and Southern European). These regime types represent different responsibilities assumed for social security on the part of the market, the state, and the family. While there are significant differences in labor market characteristics, the demographic similarities in aging bring…
Attitudes toward Family Size Preferences in Urban Ethiopia
Making use of data obtained from fieldwork conducted in five major urban centers of Ethiopia in the summer of 2004, this study examines the attitudes of respondents on family size preferences to understand the fertility transition in urban areas. The methodology includes in-depth qualitative interviews and focus group discussions. The findings suggest that children continue to have an immeasurable value for urban residents. However, people differ…
Attitude toward Childbearing Outside of Marriage in Canada
In low fertility societies, less traditional orientations on questions of gender and family are linked to more non-marital births and a somewhat higher level of childbearing. This study looks at the attitudes to non-marital births to analyze the predictors of attitudes that are more favorable to childbearing. Using a sample from Oxford and Middlesex counties in Ontario, Canada, we find that women who are employed full-time have more favorable att…
Correlated mortality risks of siblings in Kenya: The role of state dependence
Random-effect models have been useful in demonstrating how unobserved factors are related to infant or child death clustering. Another potential hypothesis is state dependence whereby the death of an older sibling affects the risk of death of a subsequ

Measuring Social Cohesion: An Experiment using the Canadian National Survey of Giving, Volunteering, and Participating
Models of Time Use in Paid and Unpaid Work
Models of time use need to consider especially the reproductive and productive activities of women and men. For husband-wife families, the breadwinner, one-earner, or complementary-roles model has advantages in terms of efficiency or specialization and stability; however, it is a high-risk model for women and children. The alternate model has been called two-earner, companionship, 'new families,' or collaborative in the sense of spouses collabora…
Child Poverty and Family Structure in Canada, 1981-1997
This paper examines the relationship between family structure and child poverty in Canada over the 1981-1997 period. While recognizing the many methodological and conceptual difficulties encountered in efforts to document child poverty over time, two alternate indicators are used, Statistics Canada's official low income cut-offs, and an alternate indicator of "deep poverty". Using the Survey of Consumer Finances (1981, 1989 and 1997), trends in l…
Family Relations, Low Income, and Child Outcomes: A Comparison of Canadian Children in Intact-, Step-, and Lone-Parent Families
This paper examines conditions that are more likely to lead to positive or negative child outcomes in intact, female lone-parent and reconstituted families. Family type is found to be more important than low income in predicting a set of behavioural, emotional, and psychological difficulties. After establishing measurement equivalence across family types, multiple group analysis using structural equation modelling shows that the explanatory facto…

Men's Orientation Toward Marriage and Family Roles
Starting with the theoretical notion that gender can be seen as a schema that imposes structure and meaning, this paper explores the diversity in men's orientations regarding marriage and family roles. The responses from a qualitative survey in Southwestern Ontario shows variation between traditional and liberal orientations in terms of men's views on the extent to which women prefer childcare over work. However, men from various orientations lar…
Gender Orientations and Family Strategies
Des interviews qualitatives de 95 femmes mariées ayant entre 18 et 45 ans ont été menées afin d'étudier les points de vue de ces dernières sur le mariage, les enfants, le travail et les politiques familiales. Nous avons comparé les opinions des femmes plus traditionnelles avec celles des femmes favorisant l'égalité des sexes, et nous avons pu constater que plusieurs idées étaient partagées, notamment sur le mariage et les enfants. Étaient à l'ori…
Parental Preferences for Work and Childcare
Data from the 1988 Child Care Survey are used to compare the actual and preferred work and childcare patterns in families with children under six years of age. Not only do parents manage work and childcare in a variety of ways, but preferences differ considerably from daily experiences. A variety of models are operating, with some preferring more public childcare situations while others prefer part-time work or other arrangements that permit pare…

Socio-cultural variations in the applicability of the economic model of fertility
In the economic model of fertility childbearing is regarded as a type of utility maximization in which preferences for children are balanced against available resources and incurred costs. This model is here tested on data from a fertility survey taken in the city of Edmonton, Alberta. It is applied separately to eight ethnic groups in order to test for variations in its applicability. It is found to receive some support in three groups, but to b…

The Language Crisis: An Exchange of Views
This is a brief response to the two articles by Charles Castonguay and Roderic P. Beaujot which appeared in the Winter 197 9 issue. Although readers may be growing weary of linguistic problems and policies, a topic on which this journal has published five articles in less than a year, I hope they will bear with me for one more comment. My reason for asking them to do so arises from the fact that the Castonguay and Beaujot articles are almost iden…

Analysis of Ethnic Fertility Differentials through the Consideration of Assimilation
This article reviews the literature on ethnic differences in fertility and presents some pertinent data from a fertility survey in Edmonton Canada. These data allow consideration of ethnic differentials while controlling for assimilation. The analysis concentrates on the particularized ideology hypothesis tested by focusing on the less assimilated members of given ethnic groups. Since the less assimilated could be said to identify more strongly w…

Effect of infant mortality on subsequent fertility in pakistan and Sri Lanka
The relation between infant mortality and fertility is studied using data from the 1975 fertility surveys in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It is found that the unadjusted data support child replacement, but that this is much less the case once controls are introduced for demographic and socioeconomic factors. Replacement is slightly more pronounced when there are fewer surviving male children.
