The impact of resource development on individual and family well-being
This report represents one of the initial exploratory studies undertaken in 1976, to determine the parameters of and the appropriate methods for research on the social impacts of oil sands development in the AOSERP study area.

This report represents one of the initial exploratory studies undertaken in 1976, to determine the parameters of and the appropriate methods for research on the social impacts of oil sands development in the AOSERP study area. As a preliminary step towards the clarification of the conceptual and empirical issues involved in the relationship between rapid resource development and individual and family well-being, the available published and unpublished literature as well as various statistical data sources are reviewed. This study does not attempt to collect new data or to fully explicate statistical data available at the time in either an unpublished or unanalyzed form. Several issues are explored: the influence of marriage and family on employment patterns and life satisfaction in resource communities; the factors involved in geographical mobility of people; the general characteristics of resource communities; the culture and problems of native peoples affected by resource development; and a summary of relevant statistical and qualitative data available for the Fort McMurray area.
