Urban housing tenure choice from an economic and demographic perspectiveLemieux, William J. January 1985 (has links)
This thesis evaluates the influence of family life cycle stages as a factor of residential tenure choice. The importance of tenure choice is being more widely recognized through the greater use of housing market and demand models. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge of the tenure decision process so that planners, policy makers, and other market participants are more effective in achieving their goals.
In this study an empirical analysis is performed using urban Canadian data for households with head's between the age of 25 and 44. Eight family life cycle stages are used to classify households. A joint tenure choice and mobility model is used to test for ownership probability differences among the life cycle stages. Within the study framework allowances are made for recent and non-recent movers.
The results indicate that family life cycle stages impact on tenure choice, and that this occurs outside of their impact on expected mobility (or holding period). The life cycle stage impact is strong through the effect of household reactions to income and wealth, and weak through just group membership. This suggests that utility preferences for ownership tend to shift as households progress through various life cycle stages. When elasticities are estimated they are found to reflect the different housing consumption and mobility decisions of households at different family life cycle stages. This also
supports the concept of a changing utility preference function.
In general this study finds that tenure choice is affected by consumption and mobility influences that result from different family life cycle stage demands. Further research studies, government and business policies, dealing with residential tenure choice are encouraged to recognize family life cycle stages and the impact of household expected mobility. / Business, Sauder School of / Real Estate Division / Graduate

This collection of short stories is about being a twenty-something in the 90s, trying to get by, have a little fun and make somewhat of a mark in the process. It’s about the process of growing up, and the seemingly desperate need to hold onto all those youthful pursuits. It’s about finding out that life as an adult tries to suck the life out of you, rather than allowing you to suck the life out of it. That constant struggle, the battle of wills between attending to your needs or just satisfying your wants. This is a time for you when your needs and wants are siblings, bickering in the back of the car on a long drive up the coast. The characters in these stories are having their good time while it lasts. Avoiding the inevitable: maturity, responsibility, adulthood. And so they should. After all, these aren’t called ‘the best years of our lives’ for nothing. The stories celebrate your life as a twenty-something. / Master of Arts (Hons) Writing

Lesbian family's developmental processes an extension of Carter and McGoldrick's modelBarstad, Trenton A. January 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine whether current literature on the stages
of family developmental life cycles accurately describes the family and developmental
tasks for lesbian families. Due to the lack of empirical literature on this topic it was
important to examine the experiences of families headed by two women related to
developmental tasks experienced versus those proposed. Several authors have suggested
there may be differences between same-sex and opposite-sex parents in relation to
parenting styles and some child outcomes. However, none of these differences have been
studied within the framework of family developmental tasks. The purpose of the present
investigation was to explore the diversity of family structures, goals, and strategies within
families headed by two women. The present study collected data, explored the themes
related to families headed by two women who have children in the home who have not
yet entered school. The goal was to develop a theory from this data using Grounded
Theory which was compared with existing family developmental tasks theory and
proposed changes to existing theory to take into account expected differences lesbian
families may present. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services
