Social Welfare in Canada

by Jam Armitage and Andrew Armitage

This book examines the development of Canada's extensive welfare state, the various ideological views of social policy, and the overwhelming historical contributions of liberal thought to social welfare in Canada. Several programs that were developed fifty years ago under very different circumstances have been changed during the 1990s to reflect the limitations imposed by a changed economic order.
