The first four chapters each begin by outlining the historical evolution of the income security programs in the following categories: child benefit programs; social assistance & other income supports; programs that provide replacement for lost earnings (unemployment insurance, workers' compensation); and the retirement income system. These historical reviews explain how & why the programs were established. This is followed in each chapter by more detailed descriptions of individual programs as they are currently designed, including information on the characteristics & intent of the program, benefits available & how people qualify, numbers receiving support, and the value of individual & total benefits paid. In the final chapter, each of Canada's major income security programs is re-examined in relation to its impact on the incomes of Canadians, and the role of each program for different types of households is analyzed. Includes glossary. The appendix outlines changes to programs that were introduced in 1998.
