Over the past ten years, has the Lanaudi\u00e8re region seen more single-parent families? more couples living common-law? more people living alone? Based on data from the Canadian census, this is what the new issue entitled Households and families in Lanaudi\u00e8re in 2011<\/em> newsletter We watch for you <\/em>\u00a0written by Andr\u00e9 Guillemette of the Direction de la sant\u00e9 publique de Lanaudi\u00e8re.<\/a><\/p>\n

Take a look at this portrait. Also available under Documents and Tools!<\/a><\/p>\n

Households and families<\/strong>
\nIn Lanaudi\u00e8re, in 2011, fewer than 7,000 people lived in collective households, two-thirds of them in healthcare establishments. In other words, almost the entire Lanaudi\u00e8re population lived in the region's 190,475 private households. This situation is not exceptional, as the observation is the same for the whole of Quebec and for previous censuses.<\/p>\n

Around 84 % of Lanaudi\u00e8re residents live within the region's 138,820 families, while just over 10 %, or 48,435 individuals, live alone, and 4.3 % live with one or more related persons (uncle, cousin, nephew, etc.) or not. Compared to Quebec as a whole, Lanaudi\u00e8re has a higher proportion of people living in families and a lower percentage of people living alone.<\/p>\n

Nearly 48 % of Lanaudi\u00e8re families are made up of a married couple with or without children, and around 37 % are made up of a common-law couple with or without children. In Lanaudi\u00e8re, as in the rest of Quebec, a majority of married couples have no children at home, while the opposite is true for common-law couples. This suggests that common-law couples are generally younger than married couples. Just under 16 % of Lanaudi\u00e8re families, or 21,740, are single-parent families.<\/p>\n

A comparison between Lanaudi\u00e8re and Quebec reveals differences in the situation of individuals within families. All things considered, Lanaudi\u00e8re has more common-law couples, fewer married couples and slightly fewer single-parent families. Both territories have similar percentages of families with children (58 %).<\/p>\n

Chronological trends<\/strong>
\nSince 2001, changes in family structure have been observed. The relative share of couples with children has fallen, while that of single-parent families has risen. Similarly, the proportion of married couples has fallen, while that of common-law couples has risen. In Quebec, the chronological evolution is not quite the same, since the proportion of single-parent families remained unchanged between 2001 and 2011. It is interesting to note that in Lanaudi\u00e8re, as in Quebec, the percentage of single-parent families with a male parent has increased in recent years. Nevertheless, single-parent families with a female parent still predominate.<\/p>\n

For the three censuses considered, the proportion of people living in collective households remained more or less the same in Lanaudi\u00e8re and Quebec. However, the percentage of people living in families decreased, while that of people living alone increased.<\/p>\n

To conclude<\/strong>
\nThe sharp increase in the number of people living in Lanaudi\u00e8re has a significant impact on the demand for health and social services. However, we mustn't forget that changes in the situation of individuals within families also have and will have repercussions on the population's need for these same services.<\/p>\n
