Social welfare in Canada : understanding income security

Summary: Social Welfare in Canada: Understanding Income Security is intended for students who are relatively new to social policy analysis, social work, and other human service disciplines who need a broad survey of the field. It is also appropriate for students in public administration, economics, political science, or sociology who may not be familiar with the various income security programs in Canada. While providing an historical background, the book also gives an overview of the income security programs and policy debates that exist in Canada today.
