Online Writings

This web site contains a series of online articles on family issues pertaining to Canada but also relevant for research on American families. I have written these articles for university/college instructors and their students, policy makers, media persons, and the educated public. Each article focuses on a particular family issue and presents facts, causes (where relevant), consequences, and interpretations.  These analyses are informed by the disciplines of sociology and psychology.
