Welfare Reform in Canada by Daniel Béland,Pierre-Marc Daigneault Pdf

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.

The Collapse of Welfare Reform by Christopher Leman Pdf

The Collapse of Welfare Reformexamines and compares a decade of welfare reform policy efforts in the United States and Canada, explaining the failure of each. While many scholars attribute differences in welfare policy to socioeconomic factors, Leman contends that political factors were responsible for these differences in the two countries under study. His is the only detailed and comparative recent work on public assistance policy and is one of the few book-length comparisons of the United States and Canada on any subject. It updates past discussions of U.S. welfare reform by discussing President Carter's Program for Better Jobs and Income as well as former President Nixon's Family Assistance Plan, and provides the most comprehensive account available of the Canadian Social Security Review and its aftermath. The issues, data, and lessons presented in this book will interest political scientists, social workers, policy planners, and general readers who are involved in welfare assistance programs and issues.

A Policy Travelogue by Catherine Kingfisher Pdf

An ethnography of the development and travel of the New Zealand model of neoliberal welfare reform, this study explores the social life of policy, which is one of process, motion, and change. Different actors, including not only policy élites but also providers and recipients, engage with it in light of their own resources and knowledge. Drawing on two analytic frameworks of the contemporary anthropology of policy-translation and assemblage-Kingfisher situates policy as an artifact and architect of cultural meaning, as well as a site of power struggles. All points of engagement with policy are approached as sites of policy production that serve to transform it as well as reproduce it. As such, A Policy Travelogue provides an antidote to theorizations of policy as a-cultural, rational, and straightforwardly technical.

Patchworks of Purpose by Gerard William Boychuk Pdf

In Patchworks of Purpose Gerard Boychuk asserts that Canada does not have one social assistance system but rather ten variants that reflect the particular policy goals of each province. He argues that provincial assistance regimes have followed significantly distinct paths in their historical development even though they have been funded under the same federal cost-sharing arrangements.

Child Poverty and the Canadian Welfare State by Shereen Ismael Pdf

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.
