Urban Poverty in Quebec: Metropolitan Regions (Preliminary Research Report)

(by Sylvain Schetagne, 1999, 19 pp., #570, $10.00)

Using Census data, this report compares changes in poverty rates between 1990 and 1995 in Montréal, Quebec, Chicoutimi/Jonquière, Sherbrooke and Trois-Rivières. The report shows that poverty rates increased in each of the areas studied, but the rate of change and the composition of the poor is different in each area.
