Release date: 1998-11-19 - Articles and reports: 89-553-X19980014028Geography: CanadaDescription:
To gain a perspective on the issues that have and have not been covered by the authors I propose to note the key elements in the legacy that younger generations should hope to receive from their predecessors. In view of the comments that I will make later about the elderly I should make it clear that central aspects of the prevailing life cycle are taken as given : children live with a parent or parents and acquire education and skills until late adolescence or young adulthood when they enter the labour market and form their own household more or less at the same time.
Release date: 1998-11-05 - 5. Living Arrangements and Residential Overcrowding: The Situation of Older Immigrants in Canada, 1991 ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M1998115Geography: CanadaDescription:
Older immigrants arriving in Canada are not eligible for government transfer payments or welfare benefits for up to 10 years. Consequently, many of them choose to live with their relatives or sponsors in crowded three or more generation households. Cultural preferences also influence this tendency. The propensity for immigrant groups from developing regions to live in three or more generation households ranges up to 18 times those of their Canadian-born and the immigrant counterparts from the developed regions. The average income, percent receiving Old Age Security payments, percent widowed and duration of residence in Canada are significantly associated with proportions of immigrants living in such arrangements, and explain about 84% of birthplace variation for males and 81% for females.

- Articles and reports: 91-209-X19970004871Geography: CanadaDescription:
During the century now coming to a close, the structure of Canada's population has changed, chiefly as a result of the slow decline in fertility, which has narrowed the base of the age pyramid and broadened its peak. This steady evolution was interrupted for about 20 years by a still-unexplained phenomenon - the baby boom. Between 1946 and 1965, fertility and natality hit levels considered irretrievably lost, resulting in the famous explosion of births.

With the aging of Canada's population projected to increase into the next century, the study of the abuse of older adults may become increasingly important to health and social service providers, the justice community, and Canadians in general.
