Abstract

Canadian scholars have made substantial contributions to the relatively new field of family economics. These include new models of how men and women match in marriage markets, and of how decisions are made in multi‐person households. Several were early contributors to the literature on married women's labour supply and labour supply in a family context, and helped to develop empirical methods in this area. A particular focus has been on the impacts of policy‐relevant parameters, such childcare costs, on family labour supply and child well‐being. New work on child development, the impact of early life conditions, and the processes of intergenerational transmission also highlight the importance of family context in determining economic well‐being. Contributions canadiennes à l’économie de la famille. Les chercheurs canadiens ont fait des contributions substantielles au champ relativement nouveau des études en économie de la famille. Celles‐ci couvrent les nouveaux modèles essayant de comprendre comment hommes et femmes s’arriment dans les marchés du mariage, et comment les décisions se prennent dans les ménages à plusieurs personnes. Plusieurs ont contribué aux travaux de la première heure sur l’offre de travail des femmes mariées, et sur l’offre de travail dans un contexte familial, et ont aidé à développer des méthodes empiriques dans ce domaine. On a porté une attention particulière à l’impact des paramètres pertinents pour les politiques publiques, comme les coûts de la garde d’enfants, sur l’offre de travail des familles et le bien‐être des enfants. Des travaux récents sur le développement de l’enfant, l’impact des conditions dans la petite enfance, et les processus de transmission intergénérationnelle soulignent aussi l’importance du contexte familial dans la détermination du bien‐être économique.
