title: [Young and economically precarious:  an analysis of the situation of couples].
abstract: Changes in the economic status of young married and unmarried couples in Canada are examined for the period 1960-1989.  The impact of the economic recession created by the restructuring of the economy in the early 1980s on the income of the young is analyzed.  The authors investigate the impoverishment of young couples and compare it "with the evolution of income among older couples and analyze the impact of various factors, [such] as job stability, wage level and relative contribution of both partners."
