Combating Poverty critically analyses the growing divergence
between Quebec and other large Canadian provinces in terms of
social and labour market policies and their outcomes over the past
several decades. While Canada is routinely classified as a single,
homogeneous 'liberal market' regime, social and labour market
policy falls within provincial jurisdiction resulting in a
considerable divergence in policy mixes and outcomes between
provinces. This volume offers a detailed survey of social and
labour market policies since the early 2000s in Canada's four
largest provinces - Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta
- showing the full extent to which Canada's major provinces have
chosen diverging policy paths. Quebec has succeeded in emulating
European and even Nordic social democratic levels of poverty for
some groups, while poverty rates and patterns in the other
provinces remain close to the high levels characteristic of the
North American liberal, market-oriented regime. Combating Poverty
provides a unique and timely reflection on the political
implications and sustainability of Canada's fragmented welfare
state.
