Abstract
This paper seeks to examine whether there have been noticeable changes in the main features of the Canadian distribution of family income over the last two decades, in particular to examine what changes have occurred to the middle-class income share in Canada, and thence to identify possible determinants of these changes among a number of alternative hypotheses in the literature.
