Role Supports for Younger and Older Middle-Aged Women:Application of a Life Event Model  \nCharlene Thacker*and Mark Novak·  \n# ABSTRACT\n\nThis paper is a report on a study of 276 women aged 35 to 64 who have re-entered university.We used the life-event framework to focus on the stress ofuniversity life,on the methods these women use to cope with stress and on theiradaptations to the demands of school.We compared the re-entry experience oftwo sub-groups in our population:students aged 35 to 44(with young families)and those aged 45 to 64(with mature families).We found that each group haddifferent motives for attending school,each group felt different strains duringthe school year and each group used different methods and resources to copewith the demands of student life.The paper concludes with a review of theliterature on programs that meet the needs of re-entry women.We note theapplicability of these programs to the distinct needs of younger and older re-entry women and we encourage the development of more programs to meet bothgroups'needs.  \n# RÉSUMÉ\n\nCet article rend compte d'une étude menée à partir du témoignage de 276femmes de 35à64 ans qui ont repris des études universitaires.Nous avons eurecours à une approche tenant compte des cycles de la vie pour analyser lemontant de stress généré chez ces femmes par la vie universitaire et pour mettreen lumiere les méthodes que celles-ci utilisent pour faire face à ce stress ets'adapter aux exigences propres aux études universitaires.Nous avons cefaisant comparé cette expérience au sein de deux sous-groupes:d'une part lesétudiantes agees de 35à44 ans,mères de jeunes enfants,et d'autre part cellesde 45 a64 ans dont les enfants avaient atteint I'age adulte.Nous avonsdécouvert que les raisons qui poussaient les personnes de ces deux groupes areprendre des études étaient tres différentes de meme que les difficultés qu'elles  \néprouvaient pendant I'année scolaire et les moyens qu'elles utilisaient pour êtreà la hauteur de ce qu'on exigeait d'elles en tant qu'étudiantes.Cet articleprésente ensuite un éventail de programmes parmi ceux qui répondent le mieuxaux besoins des femmes qui reprennent des études.Nous y soulignons dansquelle mesure ces programmes conviennent aux besoins spécifiques soit desfemmes les plus jeunes soit des femmes les plus agées et nous sollicitons lacreation d'un plus grand nombre de programmes susceptibles de répondre auxbesoins des deux groupes.  \n# Introduction\n\nMore adults than ever before attend post-secondary institutions(Campbell,1984)and even greater numbers of adults will attend school in the future(Breneman,1983;Crimmins &Riddler,1985;Frances,1980;Glenny,1980).ACarnegie Council report(1981)projects a decrease in the proportion oftraditional-aged students(18-24 years old)in the U.S.The report states that,bythe year 2000,as many higher education students will be over 21 years old aswill be 21 years or younger.Campbell(1984,p.14)calls Canadian adult learnerstaking part-time credit and formal non-credit University courses the “new majority”because by 1974-75 they outnumbered full-time University students.  \nBelanger and Omiecinski(1987)report that Canadian adult students aged 25-44 more often than younger students attend school part-time.A recent Canadiansurvey(Devereaux,1985)reports that one in five adults(aged 17+)took somepart-time education.Universities provided about 11%of these courses.Thesame survey found a high interest in organized education among adult women.Among part-time students,about one woman in three aged 25-34 took someform of adult education.  \nIn 1984-85,women made up 61%of the Canadian part-time universityundergraduate population(Parliament,1986).In every age category,womenconstituted the majority of part-time students.They made up about 70%of part-time students aged 45 and over(Belanger &Omiecinski,1987).  \nThese trends will grow stronger as more women enter the labour force.Awoman today can expect to work forty years of her adult ","cbCaigBr0SOEGrNw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigBr0SOEGrNw","pdf",716215,24,"English","# ABSTRACT\n# Résumé\n#
