Combating Poverty
critically analyses the growing divergence between Quebec and other large Canadian provinces in terms of social and labour market policies and their outcomes over the past several decades. While Canada is routinely classified as a single, homogeneous 'liberal market' regime, social and labour market policy falls within provincial jurisdiction resulting in a considerable divergence in policy mixes and outcomes between provinces.
This volume offers a detailed survey of social and labour market policies since the early 2000s in Canada's four largest provinces – Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta – showing the full extent to which Canada's major provinces have chosen diverging policy paths. Quebec has succeeded in emulating European and even Nordic social democratic levels of poverty for some groups, while poverty rates and patterns in the other provinces remain close to the high levels characteristic of the North American liberal, market-oriented regime.
provides a unique and timely reflection on the political implications and sustainability of Canada's fragmented welfare state.
