Document Summary

Families tell us how we accect responsibility for one another. Today adults wait longer to marry, common law unions are also seen as an alternative to marriage, and on average canadians wait longer than did their parents of grandparents to have children. Divorces are more likely and there are more dual-earning families with the emancipation of women. Approx 85% of canadians lived in private households with someone to whom they are related. Of this group, the vast majority (87%) lived in census families. Over 360,000 babies were born in 2008, which is still one quarter less than the 479,000 in 1959 during baby-boomer age. The fertility rate is 2. 1 among women, the high was 3. 9 in 1959. People are postponing having children as the fertility rate of women aged 30 to 34 exceeded that of women aged 25 to 29, and the one for 35-39 will soon surpass the one of woman aged 20-24.
