DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive & easy to read description of Canada's income security programs. The first four chapters each begin by outlining the historical evolution of the income security programs in the following categories: child benefit programs; social assistance & other income supports; programs that provide replacement for lost earnings (unemployment insurance, workers' compensation); and the retirement income system. These historical reviews explain how & why the programs were established. This is followed in each chapter by more detailed descriptions of individual programs as they are currently designed, including information on the characteristics & intent of the program, benefits available & how people qualify, numbers receiving support, and the value of individual & total benefits paid. In the final chapter, each of Canada's major income security programs is re-examined in relation to its impact on the incomes of Canadians, and the role of each program for different types of households is analyzed. Includes glossary. The appendix outlines changes to programs that were introduced in 1998.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis third edition of Dennis Guest's book provides the most complete and up-to-date history of social welfare in this country. Yet it also offers insights into the nuts and bolts of policy creation, and explodes recent myths that underlie the current residual approach to social policy, such as 'death by deficit' and 'the inevitable demise of the Canada Pension Plan.' The Emergence of Social Security in Canada is both an important historical resource and an engrossing tale in its own right, and it will be of great interest to anyone concerned about Canadian social policy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKInformed observers and policy makers are well aware that in recent years social welfare systems on both sides of the Atlantic have been subject to growing scrutiny, debate and controversy, especially due to high unemployment rates and extreme interest rates experienced during the last recession as well as important demographic changes such as the increase of women into the labour market and the aging population. The papers included in the colloquium discuss the situation of social welfare policy in three stages: historical developments and forces for change; the influence of the political process on social security developments; and, the nature of policy responses to demographic change.
