Abstract
Modern low fertility results not only in fewer children in the nuclear family but fewer kin of all degrees. The lower births now prevailing in Canada also imply changes in the kin structure: fewer sisters of Ego and more than proportionately fewer nephews and cousins. A major shrinkage of kin is implied by 1981 births and deaths in contrast to those of 1971. Curves and tables trace the changes in Egos average number of kin through life. Small numbers of kin make it difficult for the family to fulfil its traditional functions. (SUMMARY IN FRE) (EXCERPT)
