Download or read book Welfare Reform in Canada written by Daniel Béland and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welfare Reform in Canada provides systematic knowledge of Canadian social assistance by assessing provincial welfare regimes and emphasizing changes since the late twentieth century. The book examines activation, social investment, and economic inequalities and provides nuanced perspectives on social welfare across Canada's provinces in relation to trends and issues in the country and beyond. These conceptual, international, and historical perspectives inform in-depth case studies of social assistance reform in each province. The key issues of social assistance in Canada, including gender relations, immigrants, Aboriginal peoples, and the impact of activation programs, are addressed, as is the possibility of convergence taking place in provincial welfare policy. This book is the second volume in the Johnson-Shoyama Series on Public Policy, published by the University of Toronto Press in association with the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, an interdisciplinary centre for research, teaching, and executive training with campuses at the Universities of Regina and Saskatchewan.

Book excerpt: “Did you ever go to bed and wonder if your child was getting enough to eat?” For food insecure mothers, the worry is constant, and babies are at risk of going hungry. Through compelling interviews, Lesley Frank answers the breastfeeding paradox: why women who can least afford to buy infant formula are less likely to breastfeed. She exposes the shocking reality of food insecurity for formula-fed babies and the constraints limiting mothers’ ability to breastfeed. Out of Milk calls out the pressing need to establish the economic and social conditions necessary for successful breastfeeding and for accessible and safe formula feeding for families everywhere.

Book excerpt: Endemic throughout the consultation were concerns about a lack of knowledge and understanding on the part of case workers of the physical and psychosocial impacts of HIV/AIDS, and a lack of sensitivity and compassion in dealing with clients. [...] Where policy already permits the issuance of a benefit at the discretion of a worker, the provision of training/education opportunities to staff (front line, supervisors, and policy staff) to help shape the exercise of discretion is recommended. [...] While this report speaks largely to the Nova Scotia Employment Support and Income Assistance (ESIA) program, as most of the issues raised during the consultation pertained to the provincial benefit program, it is important to acknowledge that many factors influence an individual's security of income and further work needs to be done on a wide range of issues related to poverty and the factors cont [...] Education for Government ESIA Staff in HIV/AIDS It is recommended that all Department of Community Services ESIA staff receive training/education to promote sensitivity and increase understanding of the physical and psychosocial impact of HIV/AIDS and treatment regimens, barriers to work for PHAs, the effect of stigma and discrimination, PHA needs and related issues; and to provide guidance as to [...] It is recommended that AIDS service organizations (ASOs) continue their role, to the extent they are able within the confines of their budgets, to coordinate a variety of social/leisure/physical activities for PHAs in recognition of the benefit these programs have in supporting good physical and mental health and countering the negative effects of isolation to which HIV/AIDS contributes.

Download or read book Child Poverty and the Canadian Welfare State written by Shereen Ismael and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2006-11-15 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005, 1.2 million children in Canada were living below the poverty level. This represents a 20 percent increase since 1989, the year that the federal government unanimously passed a resolution to eliminate child poverty by 2000. To understand the state of children's welfare, Child Poverty and the Canadian Welfare State reviews Canadian social policy reform, and discovers that the welfare of poor children is a casualty of the war on the welfare state launched by opposing political ideologies. This study surveys the shift from entitlement to charity from the perspective of social policy reform.
