500 |a"Several years ago, governments took a major step forward in a co-operative venture informally known as the social assistance profile project. The purpose of the project was to assemble a database of welfare statistics that was more or less standard for all provinces. The statistics included information on welfare cases by family type, family size, age group of the head of each case, reasons for assistance, the number of months spent on welfare, housing arrangements, levels of education of the head of case, and sources of income aside from welfare. The first data were collected for March 1990, and subsequent data were collected for March 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997. The National Council of Welfare has long been concerned about the minimal amount of reliable and up-to-date information about social programs that is readily available to ordinary Canadians. It subsequently sought and received permission from officials of all provincial and territorial governments to have access to the database for research purposes. This report is the end result of all these efforts."--Page 4.
