Re: raising families in Vancouver
It's not only about the cost of housing for many second-generation immigrant families. Many families get support through babysitting from relatives so they don't have to pay for daycare. Also, a lot of people on this forum love to hate on public sector workers, but there are lots of women who fight over these jobs because they can get full top-ups while on leave and don't face the prospect of being labeled as "a woman of a child-bearing age" in their organizations. Most of the women I know from high school, university, etc are in the public sector in some capacity (the closest woman to me isn't, ironically.)
But, it often doesn't work this way in WASP-y families.
