Summer school

The QICSS Summer School is designed for professors, university or public sector researchers, postdoctoral and postgraduate students, and, occasionally, for undergraduates who need training in methods of analysis for large-scale complex surveys, such as those of Statistics Canada and l'Institut de la statistique du Québec in order to conduct research in the context of their work or studies.

Surprising facts

I am interested in policies that affect children and families, among which, parental leave policies. A dear colleague of mine taught me that maternity and paternity leave policies are not as recent as I might have thought. For example, in Korea, women working for the government in the 1400s had 100 days of maternity leave and their husband had 30 days (Yi, Pae-yong's book Women in Korean History 한국 역사 속의 여성들. 2008. Ewha Womans University Press. p. 267. ISBN 9788973007721).
