This exciting collection of original essays by prominent Canadian scholars examines issues and trends affecting family life in Canada. The text is organized in five parts.The first part, "Conceptualizing the Family," presents an overview of the sociology of the family in Canada: it explores various definitions of "family" from an anthropological perspective; examines family patterns in historical and cross-cultural contexts; provides an overview of the theoretical frameworks and research methodologies for family studies; and discusses Canadian demographic trends.The life cycle is the focus of the second part of this book. In Chapter 3, Rachel Ariss shows how social expectations and ideologies about intimacy shape how individuals experience family formation. In ''Parents and Children,'' Gillian Ranson introduces the dominant ideals of motherhood and fatherhood in Canada and demonstrates the extent to which parenting practices are shaped by social and economic contexts. Major changes in social practice and in the legal environment that have gone hand in hand with demographic changes to contribute to the episodic nature of spousal unions in Canada today. In Chapter 5, Craig McKie outlines the legal history of the family in Canada and explores how the introduction of Islamic laws (shariah) challenge the principle that newcomers to Canada are free to continue on in their beliefs and practices when these are not in fundamental conflict with Canadian law. Chapter 6 provides a timely examination of the issues that affect the ''sandwich generation'': coresidence with adult children, the ''informalization'' of care to aging parents, intergenerational ambivalence, and the relationship between midlife families and social policy. As Lori D. Campbell and Michael P. Carroll note in their chapter on older Canadians, aging within a family context has become more complex and diverse than ever before. The changes that have been occurring in the form and structure of families as a result of greater longevity, increased divorce, remarriage, and other socio-demographic factors, allow increased ''intergenerational exchange'' - the exchange of support between older and younger generations.Part III highlights the economic inequalities that exist among families. As Andrea Doucet notes, historical circumstances have contributed to strong divisions in both paid and unpaid work that are linked to gender, class, and ethnicity. Chapter 8 examines key issues in the study of paid and unpaid work, including: the connections that exist between paid and unpaid work; how unpaid work benefits the state; the complexities involved in measuring unpaid work; the costs of care; and why gender differences in paid and unpaid work matter. In the following chapter, Joseph H. Michalski argues that family change and demographic events have had their impact on income poverty, to the extent that they influence the types of families and living arrangements in which Canadians share and pool income.Diversity is the unifying theme of Part IV. In her article, In ''"I Do"'' Belong in Canada: Same Sex Relationships and Marriage," Doreen M. Fumia reveals the insecure relationship between sexual minorities and citizenship, highlighting the strategies used to reproduce normalized heterosexual notions of marriage and to avoid confronting heterosexism. James S. Frideres stresses the importance of the family among aboriginal, immigrant, and visual minorities communities, as family members learn to cope with the dynamics of integration and adaptation to mainstream Canadian culture. In Chapter 11 he focuses on key issues affecting family life for these groups: intermarriage; gender roles in minority communities; social and economic demographics in comparison to ''mainstream'' Canadians; differences in social structure and organization; and risk factors that affect Aboriginal, immigrant, and visible minority youth. In Chapter 12, Michelle K. Owen draws our attention to the impact that disability has on Canadian families; the role that gender plays in the lives of people with disabilities; the relationship between poverty and disability; and the increased incidence of physical and sexual abuse among people with a disability. The final part of the book is devoted to law and policy. In ''All in the Family: Violence Against Women, Children, and the Aged,'' Aysan Sev''er examines the ''dark side of the family'', where power differences can translate into mental, physical and/or sexual abuse, and even murder. She reviews the basic definitions of abuse and introduces theories that explain violence within intimate relationships. She then addresses possible interventions at the social and structural levels that may diminish the incidence of abuse. The role of the state in regulating family life is addressed in Chapter 14. Catherine Krull details the evolution of Canada''s family policies within a liberal welfare state and examines the ideology and implications of a universal versus a targeted approach to family policies. Krull argues that we need to appreciate why state intervention is necessary if we are to achieve gender equity and suggests that Quebec''s progressive family policies should serve as a model for the rest of Canada. In the final chapter, Margrit Eichler takes a lighthearted look at the predictions that experts made regarding the future of the family from 1930 to 1975. After reviewing some predictions that were spectacularly wrong, and others that were surprisingly accurate, Eichler bravely makes her own predictions regarding the future of the family: she anticipates a modest trend towards three generation families as one response to economic uncertainties and political turmoil; a decrease in life expectancy; continuing low fertility with high immigration from third world countries; less homophobia; a continuing slow erosion of strictly defined gender roles; and a continuing diversity of unions, including common law and legal marriages, opposite and same sex marriages. In short, families will continue to exist, some will prosper, others less so, and children will continue to be raised within family settings, which will probably be even more diverse than at present.

Eight out of ten Canadian businesses are family-run, and some of those businesses drive the wealth of Canada's very-high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth families. These are people who want their families to be as successful as their businesses. They see both business and family as precious legacies to be stewarded, nurtured, grown, and handed down. Contrary to widely held opinion, the wealthiest families in Canada do not live, work, and earn solely for themselves. They look toward the future, the rising generation of their families as well as the generations yet unborn. Most look as well toward the future of the businesses they have built and may yet build, businesses they may pass down through the family, and businesses they may sell to other individuals or corporate entities. Families who create significant enterprises are concerned with how these will contribute to the economy of their nation. They are anxious to ensure that their entrepreneurial investments, in real estate, in venture capital, in new business start-ups, will positively impact their fellow Canadians and their fellow human beings. Many are also committed to devoting a large fraction of their wealth directly to philanthropic projects and causes, which are often initiatives they don't merely fund, but that they create, build, and lead. More and more Canadians of wealth are realizing the importance of treating their family assets, their family identity, and their family brand as dimensions of the family's business. Accordingly, more and more are establishing or joining "family offices." This book reveals the concept, the theory, and the practice of the family office as an instrument to enable legacy families to ensure that they nurture, encourage, inspire, and enable their members to create a positive impact on the world around them, on their community, their country, and on humanity itself, generation after generation. This book will show you-- - What a family office is - What it costs - Whether your family can benefit from it - How to establish it - How to manage it - How to integrate with your family's business and investment interests - How it can preserve and grow a social, financial, and philanthropic legacy - And most of all, how it can keep your family united--today and for through the generations.

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 transformed conditions in the labour market have forced families to alter their routines and the division of responsibilities within the household. At the same time, the government, striving to maintain or increase the competitive position of the economy, has moved to control spending, restrain taxes, and reduce deficits. The result has been new demands on the family to provide or supplement services that might otherwise be provided by the state. Canada's Changing Families is an eye-opening study and one of great contemporary relevance.
