Many Voices: Learnings from the Modernizing Income Security for Working-Age Adults
Project Multi-Stakeholder Process - September 11 |
From Many Voices: Learnings from the MISWAA Project Multi-Stakeholder
Process
September 11, 2008
This report
examines the complex collaboration process undergone by the Task Force for
Modernizing Income Security for Working-Age Adults (MISWAA). While collaborative
working models are recognized as key for the long term well-being of the non-profit
sector, the complexity and fluidity of multi-stakeholder processes and inter-agency
collaboration often face a number of challenges in building, facilitating, and
managing these innovative and rich working environments. This report by Margot
Lettner and the Wellesley Institute, in conjunction with various MISWAA partners,
aims to capture and explore the experiences, opportunities and challenges they
faced in their multi-stakeholder process, and identify conditions needed for success
in collaborative projects involving the non-profit, public, and private sectors.

Financial Security and Debt in Atlantic Canada
- September 2008 |
11,000 Atlantic millionaires and 77,000 households
mired in debt:
Rich-poor gap grows as region loses wealth
September 2008
Press Release
A new report entitled Financial
Security and Debt in Atlantic Canada examines trends in household wealth since
the 1980s—in Canada as a whole and in the Atlantic region. In particular,
it looks at trends in wealth distribution, including Atlantic Canada’s share
of national wealth and in the portion of wealth owned by the top, middle and lower
wealth groups.

Poverty
issue still percolating
Editorial
September 8, 2008
The
latest report from GPI Atlantic on poverty in the region reaches back 21?2 millennia
to quote Aristotle’s observation that “revolutions arise from inequalities.”
That’s followed with a more contemporary reference to 2005 riots in France,
“a poignant reminder of the potential consequences of marginalizing the
poorest households.”

Training: Taxpayers Taken for $24 Bus Ride
FOIs reveal billing for services
not provided.
How private contracts inflated cost of welfare-to-work programs.
By Andrew MacLeod
September 4, 2008
At least one company that
helps people on welfare find jobs was billing the government for services it never
provided, billed more than once when it did provide services and charged an administration
fee of as much as $18 to distribute a $6.40 bus ticket. The details are included
in audits of the contractors providing the B.C. Employment Program and were obtained
by The Tyee through a freedom of information request. In most cases, the names
of the companies and identifying information were removed from the audits prior
to their release. The companies delivering the program are WCG International Consultants
Ltd., GT Hiring Solutions (2005) Inc. and the B.C. Society of Training for Health
and Employment Opportunities. In August the provincial government cancelled an
$8 million contract with WCG to provide services in the Interior, and awarded
it to GT Hiring.

General
Social Survey: Older workers and their retirement plans and preparations, 2007
About two-thirds of near-retirees anticipate that their retirement income will
be adequate or more than adequate to maintain their standard of living once they
have left the workforce.

Life
in metropolitan areas
A profile of perceptions of incivility in the metropolitan
landscape
By Leslie-Anne Keown
July 15, 2008
“Signs
of crime,” which criminologists often call incivility, range from evidence
of drug dealing and drug use to garbage littering the neighbourhood. When these
perceptions of incivility reach levels of being considered a problem by residents,
they can disrupt the community as a whole and lead to feelings of insecurity.
This article will examine perceptions of incivility problems within some of Canada’s
census metropolitan areas. Then, it will look at patterns of perceptions of incivility
problems by neighbourhood types.

Counting

Posted 08-09-2008
Chris Chamberlain and
David MacKenzie / Australian Bureau of Statistics
On Census night in 2006,
the homeless population in Australia was 105,000. Most homeless people were sheltered
somewhere on Census night but absolute homelessness, such as sleeping out or in
an improvised shelter, accounted for 16% of homelessness in Australia.
Preventing
youth disengagement and promoting engagement
Posted 08-09-2008
Jane Burns and others / Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY)
This discussion paper includes a comprehensive literature review, an analysis
of individual and social pathways to youth disengagement, and an analysis of 'what
works best' across five case studies.
Young
people imagining a new democracy: Literature review
Posted 08-09-2008
Philippa Collin / Whitlam Institute
This literature review finds that there
is clear evidence that young people in Australia are engaged with political and
social issues, but that they feel alienated by formal, institutionalised politics
and are less inclined to engage in traditional forms of participation.
