The New Social Policy Paradigm in Canada -- Contributors -- IndexIs Canada becoming a more polarized society? Or is it a kind-hearted nation that takes care of its disadvantaged? This volume closely examines these differing views through a careful analysis of the causes, trends, and dimensions of inequality to provide an overall assessment of the state of inequality in Canada. Contributors include economists, sociologists, philosophers, and political scientists, and the discussion ranges from frameworks for thinking about inequality, to original analyses using Canadian data, to assessments of significant policy issues, methodologies, and research directions. What emerges is the most detailed picture of inequality in Canada to date and, disturbingly, one that shows signs of us becoming a less just society. An invaluable source of information for policy makers, researchers, and students from a broad variety of disciplines, Dimensions of Inequality in Canada will also appeal to readers interested or involved in public debates over inequality.Equality, security, community.EqualityCanadaÉgalité (Sociologie)CanadaEqualityÉgalité (Sociologie)305.0971Kesselman Jonathan R267095Green David A(David Alan)151082MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825225503321Dimensions of inequality in Canada4076883UNINA
