Studying Part-Time in Canada'sUniversities:A Social Change Perspective\n\nPAUL ANISEF*  \n## ABSTRACT\n\nPart-time university undergraduate students participation in the Canadianpostsecondary education system has grown substantially over the past severaldecades.This growth raises questions concerning thefactors influencing students'decisions to enrol full or part-time.The research presented here is based on the1973-74 and 1983-84 National Postsecondary Student Surveys conducted byStatistics Canada and examines the changing influence of demographic,regional,socioeconomic and financial factors on registration status.  \nThe results indicate:(1)a diminishing impact of regional forces in choosingpart-time registration status;(2)a dramatic increase of women in part-timestudies(particularly older women);(3)that being married and having dependentchildren has become significantly less of a barrier for enroling part-time;(4)thatstudents from more educationally advantaged backgrounds were more likely toregister full-time in both survey years and the effect of parents'educationremained unchanged across the surveys;(5)students that either applied for agovernment loan or borrowed to finance their studies were more likely to enrolfull-time;this pattern was clearer for both sexes in 1983/84 than in 1974175.  \nThese detailed findings are evaluated in terms of social changes in Canada,particularly with respect to women's increased participation in education and thelabor market.While part-time university students constitute a relatively newclientele in higher education,their number and diversity is likely to grow,increasing our need to acquire new and more detailed information.  \n## RÉSUMÉ\n\nL'importance des étudiants universitaires de premier cycleà temps partiel dans leréseau canadien de léducation postsecondaire s'est grandement accrue au coursdes dernieres décennies.Cette croissance soulève des questions quant aux  \nfacteurs influencant la décision des étudiants de s'inscrire à plein temps ou àtemps partiel.La recherche dont il est ici question se fonde sur les enquetesnationales sur les étudiants du niveau postsecondaire réalisees en 1973-1974 et1983-1984 par Statistique Canada.Elle étudie I'évolution de I'influence desfacteurs démographiques,régionaux,socio-economiques et financiers sur legenre d'inscription.  \nOn a tiré les conclusions suivants.1)Les facteurs régionaux ont de moins enmoins d'influence dans la décision de s'inscrire à temps partiel.2)Le nombre defemmes (particulierement de femmes plus agrées)a fortement augmenté chez lesétudiants àtemps partiel.3)Le fait dêtre marié(e)et davoir des enfantsàchargeest devenu un obstacle beaucoup moins important à l'inscriptionà temps partiel.  \n4)Les étudiants provenant de milieux ayant recu une meilleure éducation étaientplus susceptibles de s'inscrire àplein temps,dans les deux annees ďenquête,etI'influence de I'éducation des parents est demeuree la meme d'une enquête àP'autre.5)Les étudants qui avaient soit demandé un pret du gouvernement soitcontracté un emprunt pour financer leurs études étaient plus susceptibles des'inscrire à plein temps,et cela se vérifiait davantage en 1983-1984 qu'en1973-1974,chez les étudiants des deux sexes.  \nCes conclusions détaillees sont évaluées sur leplan des changements sociaux auCanada,particulierement pour ce qui est de la participation accrue desfemmes àTéducation et au marché du travail.Alors que les étudiants universitairesà tempspartiel constituent une clientele relativement nouvelle de Féducation supérieure,leur nombre et leur diversité continueront vraisemblablement à augmenter,rendant ainsi encore plus grand notre besoin de nouveaux renseignements plusdétaillés.  \n## INTRODUCTION\n\nCanada is experiencing a change from an industrial to a knowledge-based societywhere many newly created jobs are in knowledge processing,handling and theservices
