This second edition of the CCSD's annual measure of Canadians' economic and physical security highlights changes since 1999. Building on 1999's results, the 2000 edition includes expanded data on differences between regions and genders. This fourth edition of the Council's widely respected report charts the social indicators of our children's well-being. In addition, experts discuss trends in our children's development and highlight areas of concern. Thoroughly researched and written in a clear and accessible style, this report is essential reading for anyone interested in Canada's young people.
Reference tables provide more detailed poverty information on each community.
A useful reference for those interested in poverty in Alberta. The report shows that poverty rates increased in each of the areas studied, but the rate of change and the composition of the poor is different in each area. A must-read for community workers, researchers, urban planners and students. It is a treasure chest of information which I use frequently both for research and teaching. An essential component of the CCSD's work on poverty in Canada for over 25 years, this latest edition of The Canadian Fact Book on Poverty provides researchers, social policy analysts and decision-makers with the most comprehensive statistics available on Canada's poor.
