Les informations fournies par le panel de répondants des trois premiers cycles de l'Enquête longitudinale nationale sur les enfants et les jeunes (ELNEJ) permettent d'examiner les liens entre famille, travail et trajectoire économique durant la transition vers la monoparentalité. Au moyen d'analyses descriptives et multivariées réalisées sur l'échantillon des familles touchées par la séparation des parents entre deux cycles de l'enquête, nous vérifions si l'activité de la mère chef de famille monoparentale est influencée en regard de ses caractéristiques antérieures à la rupture: présence sur le marché du travail, revenu, niveau d'instruction, nombre et âge des enfants, notamment. On constate que le travail et la trajectoire économique antérieurs de la mère sont étroitement liés à la situation économique future de la famille monoparentale.

Shifting marriage and divorce patterns, transformation in the workplace, the growth of the women′s movement and the development of the men′s movement, all these social and cultural changes have changed fathers′ traditional family roles and forced a reexamination of how fathers and children interact. Progress in this new understanding of fathers is highlighted in Fatherhood, a volume of empirical and theoretical research on fathers in families. The research pieces, written by such well-known scholars as Furstenberg, Seltzer, and Greif, examine differences in culture, class, nationality, and custodial status. The chapters focus on legal, economic, and policy questions, as well as on the interaction between fathers and children within the family. Some of the topics explored are fathers′ involvement in child care, fathering in the inner city, and single fathers who have custody of their children. Fatherhood is the most current assessment of our research base on fatherhood available for professional, scholarly, and classroom use and is important reading for those interested in men′s studies, family studies, gender studies, sociology, psychology, and social work.

This brilliantly argued, beautifully written book-now with a new introduction by the author-uses theories of feminist psychotherapy to present a new model of clinical psychotherapy.

Serving as both a student textbook and a professional reference/handbook, this volume explores the statistical methods of examining time intervals between successive state transitions or events. Examples include: survival rates of patients in medical studies, unemployment periods in economic studies, or the period of time it takes a criminal to break the law after his release in a criminological study. The authors illustrate the entire research path required in the application of event-history analysis, from the initial problems of recording event-oriented data to the specific questions of data organization, to the concrete application of available program packages and the interpretation of the obtained results. Event History Analysis: * makes didactically accessible the inclusion of covariates in semi-parametric and parametric regression models based upon concrete examples * presents the unabbreviated close relationship underlying statistical theory * details parameter-free methods of analysis of event-history data and the possibilities of their graphical presentation * discusses specific problems of multi-state and multi-episode models * introduces time-varying covariates and the question of unobserved population heterogeneity * demonstrates, through examples, how to implement hypotheses tests and how to choose the right model.
