Governments increasingly view earning and saving as the main solutions to low-income and debt, but is it feasible to expect all parents to work their way out of poverty? This paper compares gendered patterns of income, and state support for earning and caring in three similar welfare states: Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Relying on recent OECD statistics and national studies, the paper examines employment patterns, poverty rates and state support, noting similarities but also wide variations by gender, family configuration and country. The paper argues that increases in female employment have modified household incomes but the changes have been insufficient to counteract gendered patterns of unpaid work and the challenges women face when parenting alone. Especially mothers find the...

In spite of all the negativity surrounding the concept of workaholism, interestingly enough, the most recent study suggests that most individuals who worked long hours were motivated by more than just financial gain. While these people may be thought of as workaholics, in actual fact, these individuals simply love their jobs. They love the challenge and the excitement. They love the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction of contributing to their workplaces. They don't see work as an escape. But of course, a problem typically occurs when the life-work balance gets out of control. The recent study also suggests that most workaholics were found in management roles and/or in occupations related to trades, manufacturing or utility work. However, there was no difference between men or wom...

Though Montreal native [Tamara Kater] first visited Winnipeg in 2007, she's already feeling right at home here. Mostly, Kater is looking forward to helming one of North America's largest and oldest folk music festivals. It's big step up for her -- Ottawa's folk fest brings in 6,000 attendees daily, Winnipeg's 12,000 or more. I was worried that the goal would be better, more diverse music, but I can see the focus is now 'revenue diversification' and 'sponsorship,'" griped one anonymous fan on the folk fest's website, reacting to a press release citing Kater's fiscal achievements in Ottawa, including a 25 per cent increase in revenue. I think it's a strength. I don't mean to be cliche about it, but ultimately in any capacity that I'm working for, it's really, really vital to me to ensure...

A second option, for those who may not want or be able to buy their housing unit, is a rent voucher. Vouchers that can be applied against market rent on the home of the tenant's choice would grant families in need of assistance a high degree of autonomy, and the ability to make basic choices to make their lives better. Parents could choose a home near the school they wish their kids to attend, the working poor could live close to their jobs to cut down on travel time and costs, and nobody would be stuck in a public housing ghetto. Vouchers would also be cheaper than maintaining the status quo, since the current high costs of administering and maintaining (poorly, at that) public housing would be transferred to the private sector. That means that with the same budget, even more families ...

Upon hearing of the death of Edwin Kimelman, I was saddened by the loss of such a powerful and influential man. I run the Warriors of Lost Boys, a group devoted to providing a voice for the aboriginal children who were stolen from their families and placed in group foster homes in the 1960s, '70s and '80s. Justice Kimelman was a staunch supporter of the rights of children and those who have fallen through the cracks of child and family services and the welfare system. I humbly respect and send our support and deepest sympathies to the family of an incredibly spirited man. We know that his spirit will live on and continue to aid a great many children who have become victims and survivors. Grand Chief Ron Evans of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs spoke of the need for more funding to ensur...
