Since the late 1960s, the institution of the family is changing in Quebec. Parents鈥� marital trajectories become more complex and the settings in which children grow are more diversified. Cohabiting union, which traditionally preceded marriage, has become, in contemporary Quebec, a family form in which it is socially acceptable to give birth and raise children. My research focuses on the impact of family dynamics, union and separation of girls and boys, using the data of QLSCD (Longitudinal Study of Child Development in Qu茅bec) and the NLSCY (Survey national Longitudinal Survey of children and Youth). I also conduct work on the situation of immigrant families from sub-Saharan Africa living in Quebec (co-residence, transition to adulthood for young people, choice of conjugal unions, and fertility) based on census data, birth certificates and qualitative data. In addition, my research in West Africa mainly focuses on fertility and marital unions, especially the decline in age at marriage, the determinants of contraceptive use by youth and adolescents, and high fertility.
