Abstract	This publication, in English and French, reports on the work-family conflict in Canada, gauges progress over the past decade, and examines how views have changed. The following articles are featured: (1) "Caution: Families at Work" (Ish Theilheimer), an examination of current workplace innovations, viewpoints of employers and employees, and the conflict between living standard and quality of life; (2) "Beyond Accommodation: Towards Work and Family Harmony" (Nora Spinks), a description of the kinds of processes needed to address work-family issues within the workplace and the evolution of understanding; (3) "Work and Family in the 90s: The View from the Trenches" (Lina Duxbury, Christopher Higgins), a discussion of lessons learned from seven years of research on work and family issues; (4) "Dual Careers, Double Anxiety" (Reginald Bibby), an investigation of major sources of strain in two-career Canadian families, time constraints and job anxiety; and (5) "Canada's Working Families--It's About Time" (Alan Mirabelli), an argument that the work-family conflict has no one solution and a proposal for an agenda of research and action. Also included in the publication is information on upcoming conferences; news from collegial institutions; and current statistics on the numbers of two-job families, unemployment, distribution of unpaid household work, time at work, and volunteer locations.
