Family History Survey, 1984 [Canada]

<p>The Family History Survey (FHS) was conducted as a supplement to the Labour Force Survey in February 1984. The project was sponsored by the Housing, Family and Social Division of Statistics Canada in response to increasing demand for longitudinal data on the formation and dissolution of families.</p> <p>The FHS was retrospective in nature in order to collect historical data on the major family events of Canadians. Respondents were asked to provide detailed information on any marriages, common-law partnerships, children they may have had or raised, and work patterns. This is the first time historical information on family life-cycle events of Canadians has been collected. The data offer an excellent opportunity for researchers to explore aspects of Canadian family life-cycle events not studied before.</p>
