Poverty in Canada by Raghubar D. SharmaPublication Date: 2012
Poverty in Canada is on the rise, particularly among certain groups—groups which are often excluded from full participation in our social and economic institutions. Government demographer and lecturer Raghubar D. Sharma provides the first concise discussion of the specific groups that are affected by poverty, including the elderly, ethnic groups, children, and the "working poor." Sharma also looks into a larger trend behind the rise of poverty: a massive economic transformation has been underway since the 1980s.

Poverty and Policy in Canada : implications for health and quality of life by Dennis RaphaelPublication Date: 2011

Daily Struggles : the deepening racialization and feminization of poverty in Canada by Siu-ming KwokPublication Date: 2008
"Daily Struggles offers a unique, critical perspective on poverty by highlighting gender and race analyses simultaneously. Unlike previously published Canadian books in this field, this book connects human rights, political economy perspectives, and citizenship issues to other areas of social exclusion." "This new book is ideally suited for a wide variety of sociology, social work, and political science courses in the areas of social inequality and stratification, poverty, social policy and welfare, gender, race and ethnicity, and anti-racism."

Combating poverty : Quebec's pursuit of a distinctive welfare state by Axel Van den BergPublication Date: 2017
This volume offers a detailed survey of social and labour market policies since the early 2000s in Canada's four largest provinces--Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta--showing the full extent to which Canada's major provinces have chosen diverging policy paths. Quebec has succeeded in emulating European and even Nordic social democratic levels of poverty for some groups, while poverty rates and patterns in the other provinces remain close to the high levels characteristic of the North American liberal, market-oriented regime. Combating Poverty provides a unique and timely reflection on Canada's fragmented welfare state.

About Canada : poverty by Jim SilverPublication Date: 2014
Jim Silver illustrates that poverty is about more than a shortage of money. At the centre of this analysis are Canada s neoliberal economic policies, which have created conditions that make a growing number of people vulnerable to low income, vanishing public services and poor physical health. Silver also highlights the ways in which poverty is intimately connected to colonialism and discrimination, and finds that the policies enacted by the Canadian government serve only a powerful minority.

Poverty Reform in Canada, 1958-1978 by R. HaddowPublication Date: 1993-01-01
Poverty Reform in Canada addresses a central theoretical concern in the contemporary study of public policy - the dichotomy between society-centred and state-centred perspectives on the modern state. Haddow makes the case that poverty reform during the 1960s and 1970s can be explained by combining insights from these seemingly mutually exclusive theoretical perspectives, arguing that the societal perspective explains the important preconditions of policy making, such as the impact of policy legacies, ideological beliefs, and accumulation strategies that reflect the historic weakness of working-class politics, while the statist perspective accounts for the impact of federalism and evolving structures of cabinet decision making.
