Summary
The two primary objectives of the General Social Survey (GSS) are: to gather data on social trends in order to monitor changes in the living conditions and well being of Canadians over time; and to provide information on specific social policy issues of current or emerging interest. This survey monitors the changes in the structure of families with respect to marriages, common-law unions, children and fertility intentions.
