The Role of Socio-Economic Strategies in the Childbearing Decisions of Anglophone Women in Montreal, Quebec
|
| Abstract |
Do welfare and social service provisions affect the childbearing decisions of Anglophone single mothers living below the low-income level in Montreal? The author argues that neoliberal rhetoric has asserted that increased welfare generosity will ultimately breed dependence on social services and propagate a lack of self-sufficiency for single mothers. Rather than a direct cause-and-effect relationship between welfare generosity and the birthrate of single mothers relying on welfare, the author’s evidence suggests a weak correlation: while these provisions may alter the context in which childbearing decisions are made, they do not solely or primarily determine the outcomes of a pregnancy.
