    The purpose of the 2017 General Social Survey on Family is to explore the characteristics of families in Canada and to monitor changes in these characteristics over time.

Three aspects of the mothers' and fathers' patterns of self-reported leave are considered: whether leave was taken, the type of leave, and its duration. The data refer to parents who were paid workers or self-employed before the birth or adoption of a child (between 2012 and 2017).

  • 9. Family Matters: Family ties: How often do adult children see their parents? Archived
    Stats in brief: 11-627-M2020057
    Description:

    Staying apart from their parents and grandparents has been one of the hardest adjustments that Canadians have had to deal with since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the older population being at greater risk of infection and death from this disease. For months, most of them followed the quarantine rules, by staying home and adapting their behaviours to the infectious nature of the COVID-19. While before the outbreak visiting with one's parents was a relatively simple decision, it has since become a more delicate one. Studies have attempted to assess the risk of the virus transmission based on the frequency of intergenerational in-person contacts before the physical distancing recommendations were implemented.

    This infographic provides a snapshot of the frequency and the duration of visits between adult children and their parent(s) in Canada. The results refer to Canadians who were aged 25 to 64, who were not living with their parents, and who had at least one biological or adoptive parent alive at the time of the surveys.

  • 10. Intergenerational income mobility: The lasting effects of growing up in a lower-income family Archived
    Stats in brief: 11-627-M2020053
    Description:

    Using data from the Longitudinal and International Study of Adults, this infographic shows the relationship between the income of adult Canadians and the income of their parents when they were growing up. Additionally, it highlights that families with higher incomes were also families where parents were more highly educated, while families with lower incomes were more likely to have a non-official language as their mother tongue or to be lone-parent families.

  • 4. The General Social Survey: New Data Overview Archived
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 89-631-X
    Description:

    This report highlights the latest developments and rationale behind recent cycles of the General Social Survey (GSS). Starting with an overview of the GSS mandate and historic cycle topics, we then focus on two recent cycles related to families in Canada: Family Transitions (2006) and Family, Social Support and Retirement (2007). Finally, we give a summary of what is to come in the 2008 GSS on Social Networks, and describe a special project to mark 'Twenty Years of GSS'.

    The survey collects data over a twelve month period from the population living in private households in the 10 provinces. For all cycles except Cycles 16 and 21, the population aged 15 and older has been sampled. Cycles 16 and 21 sampled persons aged 45 and older.

    Cycle 20 (GSS 2006) is the fourth cycle of the GSS to collect data on families (the first three cycles on the family were in 1990, 1995 and 2001). Cycle 20 covers much the same content as previous cycles on families with some sections revised and expanded. The data enable analysts to measure conjugal and fertility history (chronology of marriages, common-law unions, and children), family origins, children's home leaving, fertility intentions, child custody as well as work history and other socioeconomic characteristics. Questions on financial support agreements or arrangements (for children and the ex-spouse or ex-partner) for separated and divorced families have been modified. Also, sections on social networks, well-being and housing characteristics have been added.

  • 8. Life Cycle Bias in the Estimation of Intergenerational Earnings Persistence Archived
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11F0019M2003207
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    The estimation of intergenerational earnings mobility is rife with measurement problems since the research does not observe permanent, lifetime earnings. Nearly all studies make corrections for mean variation in earnings because of the age differences among respondents. Recent works employ average earnings or instrumental variable methods to address the effects of measurement error as a result of transitory earnings shocks and mis-reporting. However, empirical studies of intergenerational mobility have paid no attention to the changes in earnings variance across the life cycle suggested by economic models of human capital investment.

    Using information from the Intergenerational Income Data from Canada and the National Longitudinal Survey and Panel Study of Income Dynamics from the United States, this study finds a strong association between age at observation and estimated earnings persistence. Part of this age-dependence is related to a general increase in transitory earnings variance during the collection of data. An independent effect of life cycle investment is also identified. These findings are then applied to the variation among intergenerational earnings persistence studies. Among studies with similar methodologies, one-third of the variance in published estimates of earnings persistence is attributable to cross-study differences in the age of responding fathers. Finally, these results call into question tests for the importance of credit constraints based on measures of earnings at different points in the life cycle.
