[Economic welfare of Canadian children: changes and implications for social policy].

"This study recommends courses of action within the scope of social policy revision in Canada, aiming to increase funding for children. These recommendations stem from a critical review of guaranteed income programmes and an analysis of the actual economic welfare of children. The authors describe the evolution of the nature of the family in Canada over the past twenty years and of the economic status of children. Their assessments are based on an analysis of cross-sectional micro-level data on income and socio-economic characteristics drawn from a very large sample of Canadian families."
