Welfare participation and labour market behaviour in Canada (original) (raw)

Welfare participation in Canada has sparked significant debate regarding its impact on poverty and labour market behaviour. This research investigates the relationship between welfare system parameters and the decisions of individuals, particularly focusing on low-income women and lone-parent families. By examining existing studies and statistical data, the paper highlights the effects of social assistance levels, earned income exemptions, and the challenges faced by welfare recipients in re-entering the workforce.
