Title
Cultural Changes in the Greek Family in Montreal: An Intra- and Inter-Generational Analysis
Abstract
The author gives a brief sociological description and analysis of the Greek family in Montreal (circa 1980s) as it was going through cultural and structural changes in its struggle to adapt and survive in a new culture and in a demanding urban-industrial society. Her description and analysis includes a discussion of the historical trends of Greek migration and the socio-economic characteristics of the immigrant group; of the traditional family structures; and of the changes that occur in the process of adaptation. The author’s analysis is based on Canada Census data and on a completed survey study carried out in the Montreal Area among 179 High School, College and University students, single and living with their parents; and among 115 parents having single children at home.
