The effect of government transfer programs on low-income rates : a gender-based analysis, 1995 to 2016 / by Adriene Harding.CS75-0002/2018-3E-PDF

"This paper is a gender-based analysis of the effect of government transfer programs on low income in Canada between 1995 and 2016. It compares the low income situations of couples, unattached women, and unattached men. It addresses the difference in prevalence of low income among women and men by age, labour force status, education level, immigration status, Aboriginal group, and region. It also looks at how specific transfers, such as Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) benefits or federal child benefits for example, affected the rate of low income. The results show that government transfers reduced low-income rates and mitigated the difference between women and men in low-income rates"--Abstract, p. 5.
