[Dynamics of female single parenthood in Canada].
"In this article we look at the timing and duration of episodes of single parent status during the life course of various cohorts of women.  The analysis was carried out with the help of retrospective data from a Canadian family survey carried out in 1984 which had a sample size of over 7,000 women. The results, derived from life-table techniques, show that over one woman in three was likely to experience a period of single-parent status at some time in her life at the risks current in 1984."
