title: [Changes in economic well-being of families with children in Canada and Quebec over the last 15 years].
abstract: "This study analyses changes in the average real income of families with children [in Canada] over the 1971-1987 period.  It presents the factual basis with which to evaluate changes in incomes at a variety of positions along the income distribution, focusing on poverty and income inequality.  The study presents the sources of family income changes by emphasizing:  the contributions of wives' earnings which affect total family income, the incidence of poverty as well as time available for leisure and child care; the role of government's cash transfers and personal income taxes."
