    QUESTIONS

    1. You have been asked by the federal government to develop Canada’s official definition of family.
    What would it be?
    2. Create a collage of photos of people who you currently see as making up your family. Would all of
    them be considered part of your family by Statistics Canada’s definition of family? How is your
    definition similar? How is it different? If you had created this collage 10 years ago, would it have
    looked the same? What about 10 years from now?
    3. What do you think will be the next type of family that the Canadian Census will begin to count in the
    near future? Why? Has it always existed? Why do you think we have failed to include it thus far?

    4. Why do you think Canadians are postponing marriage and childbirth? What do you think is an ideal
    age (if any) to marry? To have children? Why?
    5. If you wanted to study the domestic division of care and labour within families, how would you study
    it? Which theoretical orientation would best suit/guide your approach?
