The Canadian Fact Book on Poverty 1989
(by David P. Ross and Richard Shillington, 1989, 106 pp., #118, $10.00)
This book provides an overview of poverty in Canada, and a detailed analysis of the composition of poverty. It also addresses the problem of determining just who is poor, explaining how various definitions of poverty are derived and arguing that these arbitrary figures ignore a large "near-poor" population that is only marginally better off than the "official" poor.
This edition of the Canadian Fact Book on Poverty is the fourth in a series of poverty fact books published by the CCSD.
