Urban Poverty in Canada: A Statistical Profile
 (by Kevin K. Lee, 2000, 234 pp., #556, $25.00)
An absolute wealth of
statistical data on the subject
of poverty in Canada!
As governments scale back
their funding for social service
agencies, the need for
municipalities to understand
the nature and extent of
poverty within their communities will increase. This
study uses the most recent statistics available to
compare poverty rates among Canadian cities, and
provides a profile of Canada's urban poor. Special
attention is given to poverty rates among visible
minorities, immigrants, persons with disabilities, and
Aboriginal peoples living in urban areas.
