The contemporary family is being distracted, disturbed and distraught by societal pressures from every direction. The nuclear family concept, believed crucial to child rearing, is becoming passé according to census data. Or has the wave of disruption to families crested? It is hoped that this bibliography will serve as a useful tool to researchers seeking further information on families and the pressures being exerted upon them in the 21st century.

Canada's Changing Families
In recent years, two significant trends have had a substantial impact on Canadian families. First, Canadian families have been dramatically altered by high rates of separation and divorce, declining fertility, greater popularity of alternative family arrangements such as cohabitation, and increasing involvement of women in paid labour. Second, changes occurring in the economy and the larger society have brought new pressures to bear on families. In Canada's Changing Families, editors Kevin McQuillan and Zenaida R. Ravenera explore how these developments have altered family life. Using data collected in recent surveys by Statistics Canada, contributors to this volume illustrate how transforme...
Caring Communities
This publication is a collection of papers (some including tables and charts) presented by their authors at the 1989 Symposium on Social Supports. Some of the major issues addressed in the publication are: effects of AIDS on social-service workloads, impacts on women's health of having to work outside the home and care for a family, effects of family support upon seniors' usage of services from agencies and firms, ethnic differences in caring for the elderly, and various kinds of help given by the elderly to their familes and to voluntary agencies. Also included are commentaries on the studies by senior professionals in fields of social service. The book contains a total of 15 papers that present research findings or review the state of knowledge in a given field of research.

Parent-child Exchanges of Supports and Intergenerational Equity
What are the consequences of including private exchanges of supports when evaluating whether there is inter-generational equity in Canada? This general question is the focus of the analysis, which presents related information concerning the exchange of supports between parents and their children. Using the data from the General Social Survey, the book addresses questions related to the general one cited above. When we study intra-familial exchanges of supports how strong are the indications that parents and children adhere to definitions of "inter-generational equity" that are the same as or consistent with the dominant ones found in the major debates? When we study intra-familial exchanges ...
Women's Equality, Demography and Public Policies
This book assesses the comparability between policies promoting women's equality and the reversal of fertility decline. Based on comparative data from Canada, Australia, Britain, and to a more limited extent the USA, Alena Heitlinger examines the impact of major international instruments promoting women's equality, and national similarities and differences in women's policy machinery, provision for maternity and childcare, fiscal assistance for families with children, and the costs and benefits of fertility-related measures vis - vis immigration related measures.
