Many children in Canada still live below the poverty level today, even though the federal government passed a resolution to eliminate child poverty by 2000. What has the federal government done to address this problem in Canada, and what are the results? Even the commitment in 1997 of $600 million for a National Child Benefit in cooperation with the provinces and territories was only a partial solution. Dr. Ismael examines the complex relationship between the social problem of child poverty and federal and provincial social policies. | Child Poverty And The Canadian Welfare State by Shereen Ismael, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
