Impact of Remittances on Refugees’ Lives in Canada: Views of Sudanese and Vietnamese Leaders and Settlement Counsellors
Focus groups were conducted with Sudanese and Vietnamese refugee leaders and settlement counsellors (twenty seven participants) to identify their views about the effect of sending remittances on refugees in these two communities, and their suggestions about optimizing the situation. Leaders and counsellors noted that refugees feel pride at helping out and guilt at not being able to send sufficient money. They postponed education and skills upgrad…

Performance of Household Tasks by Vietnamese and Laotian Refugees: Tradition and Change
This study adds to the research literature on ethnic diversity in families by providing information on traditional and present-day household task performance of Vietnamese and Laotian families. There were differences by ethnicity, but not by gender, among the respondents in patterns of household task performance traditionally and now. Traditional patterns apparently involved considerable sharing of tasks rather than-as is often assumed-such tasks…
Coping with stress through the microcosms of home and family among arctic whalers and explorers
The essay examines an aspect of family life that has been ignored by many researchers: the role of representations of family and home for men whose work requires prolonged periods of separation and distance. Content analysis of diaries and correspondence (primarily written during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries) shows that Arctic explorers and whalers engaged in activities reminiscent of those popular at home. We hypothesize that suc…

A Typology of Household Work Performance by Employment Demands
A typology of husbands' and wives' performance of household tasks by employment demands is proposed, and the literature on division of labor in the household is reviewed for support of the categories. The components used to create the typology are employment or nonemployment of the spouses, type of boundary between employment and family responsibilities, and gender-or skills-based division of household labor. Type of household work performance by…
A Research Note on: Sources of Urban Multifamily Housing Satisfaction
A sample of 755 residents of low to moderate cost urban multifamily developments in Vancouver, B. C., was asked to report overall satisfaction with the development and the dwelling as well as satisfaction with specific features. The relationships of these features and demographic characteristics to overall levels of satisfaction were assessed for residents of high rises, 3-story walk ups, and townhouses.

Divorced Mothers' Management of Responsibilities: Conflicts Between Employment and Child Care
Pleck's suggestion of asymmetrically permeable boundaries between employment and family (allowing family responsibilities to overlap employment ones) provided conceptual direction for this study on divorced mothers' management of situations that posed a conflict between employment and child care. The majority of the 381 respondents were employed full-time in clerical and sales positions and were recipients of minimal financial or other assistance…
Development of a Measure of Job Time-Demands
To develop a scale to measure job time-demands experienced by people involved in employment and family responsibilities, job time-demands were conceptualized as the time required in employment that could coincide or conflict with time for family responsibilities. The scale was tested with samples of employed divorced mothers who had custody of a child under 13 yr. Divorced mothers were selected because they are primarily responsible for managing …
