TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Determinants of family stress and domestic violence: lessons from the COVID-19 outbreak JO - Canadian public policy A1 - Béland, Louis-Philippe A1 - Brodeur, Abel A1 - Haddad, Joanne A1 - Mikola, Derek SP - 439 EP - 459 VL - 47 IS - 3 N2 - In this article, we examine Canadians' concerns regarding the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on domestic violence and family stress. Our empirical analysis relies on a unique survey conducted online, the Canadian Perspective Survey Series, which allows us to investigate the determinants of concerns regarding family stress and domestic violence during the first COVID-19 lockdown. We find no evidence that changes in work arrangements are related to concerns regarding family stress and violence in the home. In contrast, we find that the inability to meet financial obligations and concerns about maintaining social ties are significantly related to concerns about family stress and domestic violence.
