Assiniboine Credit Union Ltd. -- The Winnipeg credit union pays "a living wage" -- above industry standards and above the poverty level -- to all employees. "Every position in our company, no matter what the position, is paid a wage that a family could live on," said Michelle Manary, ACU's vice-president of human resources. Ceridian Canada Ltd. -- The payroll and human resources management firm practises what it preaches, says John Cardella, the company's executive vice-president and "chief people officer." The company ensures that it communicates "openly, honestly and on a regular basis" with employees "so that they are clearly connected with the business," he said. Employees call the president and the CEO by their first names. "We don't have an echelon; we're all here working together...
SNbSDear BOB: It's too bad that the tab for birth control was still under debate while you guys were tussling over the division of responsibilities. If you thought two years of poverty-level scrimping was less than lovely, I'm afraid your second round of endless tuna casseroles is going to do you in. This man is heartless and shortsighted. He may tell you his training will ultimately lead to a bigger paycheque but since "sharesies" is not his style, you'll still be begging for money years from now. If you plan to stay, get a family therapist. If you plan to leave, get a family therapist and a lawyer.
Through the village-level empirical study, this paper finds that on the national level, poverty is still the important factor affecting farmers to join in the new rural cooperative medical care. The government's investment in the NRCMS has a significant effect on people to join in NRCMS. Farmers' education -level and the average life span per year are significant factors. For the stability and continuity of the NRCMS, this paper proposes to input more money in the NRCMS, to strengthen rural basic education and adult vocational education, and to improve the peasant's income.
According to the Saskatchewan report card, the overall number of children in the province living in poverty is higher than the national average. National statistics show approximately one in six Canadian children live in poverty. In Saskatchewan, the rate is one in five. One of the major factors contributing to the high level of poverty among Saskatchewan's Aboriginal children is the disparity between the wages paid to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in the province.
Manitoba's child-poverty rate dipped in 2004 to its lowest level in 15 years, but anti-poverty activists aren't celebrating. Manitoba as a whole had the fourth-highest poverty rate among the provinces. British Columbia, Newfoundland and Saskatchewan were first, second and third, respectively. It is the first time since 1989 that Manitoba wasn't in the worst three. We should not accept these numbers as anything more than just encouraging," [Gord Mackintosh] said. "There is nothing to crow about here.
Poverty is a universal phenomenon that cut across both developed and underdeveloped countries. In Nigeria poverty is deep, widespread and multidimensional, and Nigerians are all victims of this condition in one way or the other even though the degree differs. However, available statistics reveals that poverty is more pronounced among the rural dwellers that form 70% of the country's population. Efforts by successive government to eradicate poverty especially in the rural areas since independence have not yielded any desirable result in spite of huge amount of resources committed to it. This article focuses on the causes of rural poverty as well as strategies adopted to eradicate it by successive regimes in Nigeria. It also analysis some of the main weaknesses of the past attempt aimed a...

After nine budgets from this NDP government, it's time to accept that this is one cautious, conservative group of politicians. But is this steady approach, as [Greg Selinger] likes to call it, the road to 'have' status? It's hard to say. There are some optimistic signs. Manitoba and its diverse economy is expected to lead the nation in growth next year as some of the larger provinces are hammered by the U.S. recession and credit crisis. This means own-source revenue such as sales and income taxes will be robust. But to go from have-not to have status, Manitoba would have to find another $2 billion of own-source revenue. Selinger took pleasure in announcing yesterday that for the first time in history, Manitoba's economy is worth more than $50 billion. No one could say how much the econo...

It is these artificially high poverty lines for Manitoba's two largest population centres that drive up the poverty rates for Manitoba and lead to a serious misrepresentation of the actual rates of poverty in Manitoba, relative to the other provinces. The pre-tax LICO puts Manitoba's child poverty rate at 18.8 per cent, the highest in the country. The MBM shows Manitoba's child poverty rate to be 10.1 per cent, third lowest in the country behind Quebec and Alberta. It is important to emphasize that poverty is not being defined away by the use of the MBM. The levels of consumption set for each item in the basket allow for an adequate but less than average level of existence. In addition, for some groups like single parents, the MBM poverty rate is higher than the post-tax LICO poverty ra...
I think when you're thinking survival sex trade work that it's more to me a poverty and a drug issue then a sex issue," she said. "When you get into [Simone]'s level or Scarlett's level, these women make a lot of money. We're talking $300 an hour, minimum. They really do set the terms for the meeting, they really are in control. But a lot of people have a hard time believing that women can do it by choice and that women enjoy it," she said. "I hope the film will get people thinking about men who use the services of prostitutes, get them thinking about the differences," said [Carolyn Allain]. "If you're going to a prostitute and you're not paying her directly, there's probably something fishy going on. You're probably dealing maybe with a forced prostitution issue or something dodgy.
