Setting minimum living standards in Canada : a review / David Leadbeater.: EC12-4/1992-38E-PDF

"This paper is concerned with the principal ways in which minimum living standards in Canada have been proposed or established, and with the actual levels at which these standards have been set over the long-run. The subject is of importance as a general background to current discussions on the setting of benefit levels for income security programs and on setting poverty thresholds for statistical purposes"--Introd., p. [1].
