The deepening of digital reach has wide-ranging implications for family life and policy in Canada, and has spurred public discussions about the benefits, perils, and need for regulation of digital technologies. This Issue Brief provides an overview of key issues surrounding digitalization and family life and their implications for the wellbeing of diverse families in Canada. It also highlights issues surrounding digital divides, privacy, and bias, as well as how they relate to inequalities within and between families.
