This book explores the family allowance phenomenon from the idea's
debut in the House of Commons in 1929 to the program's demise as a
universal program under the Mulroney government in 1992. Although
successive federal governments remained committed to its underlying
principle of universality, party politics, bureaucracy,
federal-provincial wrangling, and the shifting priorities of
citizens eroded the rights-based approach to social security and
replaced it with one based on need. In tracing the evolution of one
social security program within a national perspective, From Rights
to Needs sheds new light on how Canada’s welfare state and social
policy has been transformed over the past half century.
