Education is also a critical determinant of health and well-being for individuals and families over the life course (Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005; Ungerleider & Burns, 2004) . In addition, times of economic uncertainty and job losses can lead to increased demands for job retraining and other career changes, often involving the need to obtain or further one’s education or credentials. For these reasons and others, governments and institutions are carefully examining factors that impede access to PSE and create barriers to students’ persistence and completion of their chosen programs. One unique group of post-secondary students is student parents. Research exploring this population has been quite limited to date; in fact, Holmes’s (2005) report, utilizing data from the 2002 Canadian Undergraduate Student Survey and the Canadian College Student Survey, provides the only previous large-scale, Canadian analysis including student parents. To provide an important basis for future research, this paper presents the first national profile of the undergraduate student parent population in Canada.1  \nStudent Parents in PSE  \nAlthough student parents are oft","cbCaimyYPKmplyxW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimyYPKmplyxW","pdf",1038358,22,"English","# Introduction\n## Student Parents in PSE\n# Literature Review","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study on student parents?\",\"answer\":\"To provide the first national profile of Canadian undergraduate student parents by describing enrolment patterns over time and current demographic characteristics.\"},{\"question\":\"Which data sources were used in the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses two Statistics Canada datasets: the Labour Force Survey (1976–2005) and the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (2004).\"},{\"question\":\"How large is the student parent population in Canadian postsecondary enrolment?\",\"answer\":\"Student parents accounted for between 11% and 16% of all postsecondary enrolment between 1976 and 2005.\"}]","A Profile of Undergraduate Student Parents in Canada - read online free | PDF",1792085174,55]
