Maximum insights on minimum wage workers : 20 years of data / by Dominique Dionne-Simard and Jacob Miller.: CS75-004/2019-3E-PDF
"In recent years, discussions surrounding the minimum wage, and its increase, have been at the centre of Canadian current affairs. The renewed interest in this topic stems mainly from high-profile campaigns advocating for a federal minimum wage increase to $15 per hour, as well as recent notable minimum wage increases in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. A recent report from the House of Commons identifies low-wage work as one of the key elements associated with precarious work in Canada. In addition to lower wages, minimum wage workers are also less likely to receive non-wage benefits such as a pension plan, supplementary health benefits or paid sick leave"--Introduction, page 4.
