Overview
In the growing public debate about poverty in Canada, one aspect is conspicuously absent: the impact of low family income on healthy child development. How much money do families need in order to create an environment that allows their children to grow healthy, productive adults? How important is family income to a child's ability to learn? In this report, David P. Ross and Paul Roberts examine the effects of family income on child development and they propose a new question for public debate: What is producing healthy children was the main objective of anti-poverty efforts in Canada?Available in French - Le bien-être de l'enfant et le revenu familial: Un nouveau regard au débat sur la pauvreté
