The fourth Annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey ranks the affordability of housing in 227 cities by dividing the median house price by the median household income in each city to come up with a median multiple. It pegged Winnipeg's median house price at $148,500 and its median household income at $55,600, for a multiple of 2.7 -- good for 29th spot. Here is a list of the Top 5 most affordable markets plus the Canadian cities in the Top 50, with their median multiple in brackets:
The Frontier Centre for Public Policy's fourth Annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey ranks Winnipeg as the 29th most affordable city among 227 housing markets it surveyed, and the ninth most affordable in Canada.

This article focuses on rural girls' aspirations of becoming migrants in a setting where girls are subjected to social constraints curtailing their movements in the midst of an otherwise mobile society, where mothers and grandmothers frequently recall their experiences in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire, and boys set off on their first migration in their mid- or late teens. However, the high level of mobility affects both intergenerational relations and the ways in which girls can justify their wish to migrate. Based on multi-sited ethnographic research between 2002 and 2008 in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, the article explores the ways in which images of success and material wealth of (trans)national migrants feed into adolescent girls' imaginations of migration and its outcome. Furthermore,...

Diet-related health problems have increased dramatically over the last few years. Consequently, nutritional labeling has emerged as an important aspect of consumers' food purchase decisions. Nutritional content in food products is considered to be a credence attribute. However, if trustworthy nutritional labels are available, nutritional labels could function as a search characteristic. The regulatory environment in some countries (e.g. USA, Australia etc.) has long recognized the potential of standardized on-pack nutrition information and has mandated the presence of nutritional labels on all processed food products. Others, like the EU, are contemplating similar mandatory nutritional labeling regulations. The nutritional labeling literature has grown significantly in recent years. Our...

Manitoba's capital city tied with seven U.S. cities as the 120th most affordable housing market among the 272 surveyed in the FCPP's sixth annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey.
I think you've still got to acknowledge that Winnipeg is still an extremely affordable city," the Regina-based analyst said. "I'm from New Zealand, and I just fine it astounding how affordable housing is.
The FCPP uses the median-multiple method for measuring housing affordability. That means it takes the median residential house sale value from the third quarter of 2009, and divides it by the median annual gross household income to come up with the median multiple. So in Winnipeg's case, that's $185,700 divided by $56,300, for a median multiple of 3.3.

There is a continuing debate about the extent to which women in the 19th century were involved in economic life. A sutdy utilizes a reading of a number of novels by the English author Anthony Trollope to explore the impact of primogeniture, entail, and the marriage settlement on the relationship between men and women and the extent to which women were involved in the ownership, transmission, and management of property in England in the mid-19th century. The marriage settlement, primogeniture, and entail play a crucial role in Trollope's plots, in the creation and transmission of family wealth. Although Trollope's treatment of them is ambivalent, they have negative as well as positive consequences. The portion and the settlement appear as indispensable elements of marriage, but with the ...
