The Incidence and Depth of Child Poverty in Recession and Recovery: Some Preliminary Lessons on Child Benefits
Description:
Early data suggest that the National Child Benefit, in combination with an improving job market, has helped cut the child poverty rate and has reduced the depth of child poverty for working families with children. However, the depth of poverty has continued to grow for non-working families with children. The data suggest that provincial policies make a significant difference to the incidence and depth of child poverty. (excerpt from the document)
