“…Several countries use enforcement provisions to collect child support payments from non-custodial parents who are in default. However, these provisions are pale in comparison to advance maintenance payments, or paying higher benefits to lone-mother families (see also Freiler and Cerny, 1998, Desrosiers et al, 1997, and Hunsley, 1997. Collecting from non-custodial parents does not solve the problem when they are unable to pay.…”

The prevalence of low income for children, especially for children in lone-parent families, varies considerably across countries. This paper considers five sets of hypotheses that may be relevant to the cross-national variability of child poverty. The tentative conclusion from this analysis in 20 countries is that reducing child poverty, and in lone-parent families in particular, requires several approaches. Provisions that would discourage teenage childbearing would have their importance, as would opportunities for lone mothers to work. More important is the generosity of social expenditure applying to individuals and especially to families. The present analysis also shows the advantages of encouraging joint custody, along with special provisions for lone parents, and child support through advance maintenance payments.Keywords: child poverty, lone parent, social assistance, custodyThe prevalence of low income among children, especially for children living in lone-parent families, varies considerably across countries. Many authors have pondered over the differences showing that the rates of low income for children in lone-parent families are under 10 percent in countries like Belgium, Finland, and Sweden, while the rates are over 40 percent in Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, and the United States. Several questions have been analysed in seeking to explain these differences: the extent to which mothers are considered 3 to be employable (Baker, 1996;Gornick et al., 1996;Millar, 1996;Lewis, 1993), the relative economic status of women (Kilkey and Bradshaw, 1999;Solera, 1998;Bianchi, 1996), the generosity of social assistance provisions (Phipps, 1999(Phipps, , 2001Kenworthy, 1998;Smeeding et al., 1997;Baker, 1996), or the extent of compliance to support obligations from non-resident parents (Kunz et al., 2001;Garfinkel et al., 1998). Many studies focus on lone motherhood rather than on children in lone-parent families (e.g. Kiernan et al., 1998).The purpose of this paper is to compare the relative importance of various possible factors in understanding the variation in these child poverty outcomes. While other studies make reference to the demographics (Nichols-Casebolt and Krysik, 1995;Rainwater and Smeeding, 1995;Gornick and Pavetti, 1990), we will systematically consider the demographics associated with the prevalence of lone parenthood, the teenage fertility rate or the percent male in loneparent families. After considering the average per capita income, the next second set of variables considers the generosity of social transfers, and the transfers toward families in particular. The next set of considerations relates to women's labour market status, particularly for lone parents.These explanatory factors are compared to three specific policy orientations: the extent of state involvement in ensuring child support, the extent of differential state support for lone parents, and the extent of joint custody. Theoretical context 4The broad theoretical context is that of the relative prio...

“…Les changements fréquents de l'état matrimonial amènent des modifications importantes dans la manière dont les pères transigent avec leurs enfants (Desrosiers, Juby et Le Bourdais, 1997). À ce sujet, les recherches sont unanimes : la période de temps suivant une rupture est déterminante dans l'engagement des pères.…”

Le dossier RésuméCes bribes d'histoire de la paternité nous renseignent sur l'origine de quelques lois, traditions, croyances, moeurs qui ont marqué l'évolution du rôle des pères. Quelle place occupaient-ils? Quelles lois ont influencé leur rôle au sein de la famille? Comment leurs responsabilités ont-elles évolué à travers le temps? Ces questions nous ont motivés à effectuer une première recherche sur l'historique de la paternité dans le cadre de notre mémoire de maîtrise en service social (St-Denis-Patry, 2002). Sept ans plus tard, du mémoire à l'article, nous y avons ajouté un bilan de nos recherches sur la paternité et, avec l'aide du co-auteur, nous proposons certaines réflexions sur des enjeux sociaux qui s'y relient. Cet article présente d'abord quelques volets de l'histoire de la paternité en touchant brièvement la période de l'Antiquité, le Moyen-âge en France et l'ère préindustrielle et industrielle, tant en France qu'au Québec. Par la suite, nous proposons quelques liens entre certains phénomènes sociaux contemporains comme le divorce, la monoparentalité et la garde partagée et les nouveaux rôles des pères. Une réflexion sur certaines conséquences de tels changements au niveau de l'intervention sociale conclura ce texte.
