title: [Children in single-parent families, yesterday and today].
abstract: "This study, conducted from the point of view of the children, compares cohorts from the time of New France [Quebec] with those of Canada today, showing that single parenthood is not a new phenomenon. The types of single parenthood, however, are quite different. The colonial model of the traditional family has given way to a variety of family situations. As well, while death was the only cause of single parenthood during the colonial era, separations today are essentially based on some sort of decision. The psychological repercussions of losing a parent are thus completely different." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
