Description: The demographic changes observed in the last 25 years have led to a sharp rise in the number of single-parent families headed by women. The duration of single parenthood is, however, highly variable, depending upon the propensity of single mothers to engage in a union. Using data on 1,257 women from the 1984 Family History Survey, our study attempts to identify the factors that are associated with union formation among single mothers in Canada. Particular attention is given to disentangling the impact that three factors—the event at the origin of the episode of single parenthood, its time of occurrence, and the parental responsibilities borne by single mothers—exert on their propensity to start living with a partner. The analysis is carried out using proportional hazards models.
