Noting that Canadians have witnessed profound demographic, economic, social, cultural, and technological changes over the last century and the need for sound demographic information for future planning, this report is the second to identify significant trends affecting Canada's families. Following an introductory section providing relevant definitions and a historical perspective regarding changes in families, the report is organized in three parts: (1) "Canada's Families: Who They Are," including information on age structure, immigrants, population distribution, family types, marriage, divorce, parenthood, adoption, child custody, and single parents; (2) "Canada's Families: What They Do," including information on family time use, labor force participation, employed parents, unemployment, income level, and family poverty; and (3) "Canada's Families: How They Feel," including information on time stress, family expenditures, child care, extracurricular activities, family communication, health, unpaid assistance to family members, children in out-of-home care, family violence, and desired number of children. Each part of the report includes numerous charts and tables of family-related information accompanied by discussion of the trends presented. Both national and provincial level data are included. The report concludes by noting that the tapestry of Canadian families will continue to grow richer and more varied and asserting that the nation must decide how best to acknowledge, support, and reinforce the commitments that individuals make to one another as they create and sustain their families.

In this book, sociology professor John F. Conway looks at families past, present and future and examines the changing nature of family. Figures from the first decade of the new milennium tell us that one marriage in two may well end in divorce. Conway considers the implications of divorce, the impact of social changes on men, women and children, and suggests how these issues might be better addressed through family policy. The new edition addresses the harsh new reality facing Canadian families, especially those most vulnerable as a result of the crisis of the family. The Canadian Family in Crisis is the first book to examine the drastic changes in the Canadian family over the last thirty years.
