Introduction: Within the Canadian Primary Reserves (P Res), members can be employed in various classes of service, and they often balance simultaneous civilian and military employment. The aim of the current study was to examine P Res members' reliance on their military income, their satisfaction with the compensation and benefits, and whether compensation and benefits was related to 5-year turnover intentions. Methods: A P Res Retention Survey was completed by 3,669 members. Participants reported their reliance on their military income, employment status, satisfaction with 11 aspects of P Res compensation and benefits, and 5-year turnover intentions. The data were weighted by key demographic variables. Results: Most members reported a reliance on their P Res income and had some satisfaction with their pay and benefits. General linear model analyses were conducted to examine differences in members' satisfaction across classes of service. Results demonstrated that members employed full-time within the P Res were less satisfied with their rates of pay, while part-time members were less satisfied with the medical and dental benefits. Furthermore, an association was found between P Res members' satisfaction with compensation and benefits and their 5-year turnover intentions. Discussion: Although members tend to rely on their military incomes, their satisfaction varied by the level of their P Res employment. The Canadian Armed Forces may consider tailoring its financial services to aid P Res members with their financial management.

Introduction: Civilian-related research has demonstrated that couples' financial well-being and subtypes of financial strain influence marital satisfaction. However, there is a lesser understanding about financial well-being and strain as well as martial satisfaction among military service couples. Accordingly, the present study examined the impact of service couples' perception of financial well-being and subtypes of financial strain on their marital satisfaction. Methods: Out of 1,637 Regular Force (Reg F) Canadian Armed Forces members who responded to a financial well-being survey, 423 were married Reg F service couples. Participants reported their financial strains (i.e., credit card debt, relationship problems, physical stress, inability to meet obligations), financial well-being, and marital satisfaction. Results: A hierarchical multiple regression was conducted in which marital satisfaction was regressed onto financial well-being, followed by the subtypes of financial strain. Results indicated that higher financial well-being and lower financial strains both significantly predicted greater marital satisfaction. Fewer relationship problems and higher physical strain were uniquely predictive of higher marital satisfaction. Discussion: Findings suggest that, similar to civilian populations, both financial well-being and financial strains influence service couples' marital satisfaction. Increased relationship problems with others in relation to finances may decrease the quality of spousal interactions. Meanwhile, it is possible that increased physical strain symptoms (e.g., headaches, inability to sleep, upset stomach) due to financial strain may increase couples' marital satisfaction through the provision of social support.

This book updates the progress into adulthood of 14-year-olds that were tracked for the first edition, using qualitative interviews and self-report surveys. The new edition shows them moving into the world of work, relationships and parenthood.

This book updates the progress into adulthood of the cohort of fourteen year olds who were recruited and tracked until they were eighteen years old. Illegal Leisure (1998) described their adolescent journeys and lifestyles, focusing on their early regular drinking and extensive 'recreational' drug use.
