Poverty plan targets election:
Blueprint by activists urges Ontario
political parties to commit to strategy during upcoming campaign
July 13, 2007
By Kerry Gillespie
"(...) More than 330,000 Ontarians rely on food banks to survive – and 40 per cent of them are children. Today, a group dedicated to ending child poverty in Canada is releasing a blueprint for reducing child poverty in Ontario in the hopes of setting the agenda for the Oct. 10 provincial election. The Campaign 2000 report, obtained early by the Star, calls for all three political parties to commit to developing a comprehensive poverty reduction strategy. The goal should be to reduce child poverty by 25 per cent within five years and by 50 per cent within 10 years, the report states."

Ontario's political parties respond:

No commitments offered on poverty group's targets
But parties to meet with Campaign 2000 officials
July 14, 2007
By Kerry Gillespie
"Ontario's political parties yesterday would not commit to the firm targets for reducing poverty that have been proposed in a new report by the non-profit coalition Campaign 2000. Liberal officials said they appreciate the suggestions and the dedication of the group, which yesterday called on Ontario politicians to commit during the upcoming election campaign to cut child poverty in half within 10 years. The Liberals also talked about improvements they've made, including raising the minimum wage and welfare rates and introducing a child benefit for low-income families."

What's New from The Daily [Statistics Canada]:

July 12, 2007
Current economic conditions
Output levelled off in April, after three consecutive gains, hampered in part by labour disputes. Employment growth resumed in June, after a two-month pause, as gains in services outweighed more losses in manufacturing. The economy continued to be influenced by gains in commodity prices and the exchange rate. Food and energy prices continued their upward trend, while metals remained near their historic highs. Partly as a result, the Canadian dollar posted its second fastest quarterly increase ever, just under 7%, hovering near a 20-year high in May and June.

Work injuries
By Kathryn Wilkins and Susan G. Mackenzie
In the years 2002 to 2004, acute injuries occurring on the job resulted in an average of 465 deaths annually, and close to 300,000 compensated time-loss claims. The consequences of occupational injuries can be appreciable: lost work time and income, medical expenses, compensation costs, possible long-term health problems or disability, and a burden on the family of the injured worker.

Canada's New Government Celebrates Giving Parents Greater Choice in Child Care
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, July 10, 2007 - Canada's New Government made a commitment to support Canadian families and give them real choice in child care, and it is delivering on that promise. Since launching the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) in July 2006, the Government has provided 1.5 million Canadian families with monthly UCCB cheques of $100 for every child under six years old.

Early learning and child care - It's time
July 13, 2007
The Canadian Union of public Employees (CUPE) has published a new booklet that makes the case for a universal, high quality, not-for-profit child care system. The booklet outlines the major issues facing child care workers, and promotes CUPE's plan to help build a stronger system through organizing, advocacy and collective bargaining.

Complete report:

Early learning and child care - It's time (PDF file - 2.5MB, 24 pages)
July 2007
"(...) The Canadian Union of Public Employees believes Canada urgently needs a high-quality early learning and child care (ELCC) system. Many CUPE members are parents with young children. They need quality child care so they can work with peace of mind. More than half of CUPE members are women, and women still bear the major responsibility for child-rearing."

Food Insecurity in Canada and the United States:
An International Comparison (PDF file - 315K, 33 pages)
May 2007
"(...) The higher overall prevalence of food insecurity in the U.S. reflects primarily higher prevalence rates in the lower-middle, middle, and upper-middle income adequacy categories—corresponding to incomes ranging from the U.S. poverty line to about three times the U.S. poverty line. (...) Food insecurity is more strongly associated with lower educational attainment in the U.S. than in Canada. In particular, among households lacking an adult with at least secondary (i.e., high school) graduation, food insecurity is about twice as prevalent in the U.S. as in Canada."

Press Release

Washington, DC – One in eight U.S. households with infants (12.5 percent) reports being “food insecure”, according to a new analysis by Child Trends. “Food insecure” is defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be “limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods.

SPEED, SCALE OF URBAN GROWTH WILL REQUIRE ‘REVOLUTION IN THINKING’, WARNS UNFPA
Asian, African Cities to Swell by Equivalent of one China, One U.S. Combined (Word file - 49K, 2 pages)
News Release
UNITED NATIONS, New York, 27 June 2007—Humanity will have to undergo a “revolution in thinking” in order to deal with the doubling of urban populations in Africa and Asia by 2030, warns UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund. In a new report released today, The State of World Population 2007: Unleashing the Potential of Urban Growth, the organization maintains that over 30 years, the population of African and Asian cities will double, adding 1.7 billion people—more than the populations of China and the United States combined.

Use the drop-down menu to find data on urbanization for 78 countries in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean with over 7 million people. Data is presented for each showing changes in the urban population starting in 1950 and projected through 2030.
The data sets reflect:
* Percentage of rural and urban dwellers compared to the total population
* Percentage of the total population living in urban areas
* Annual rate of change of the urban population
* Urban population by size of settlement (only for countries with cities of more than 750,000 people)

Vancouver: Prosperity and poverty
make for uneasy bedfellows in world’s most ‘liveable’ city (Word file - 46K, 3 pages)
"(...) As the 2007 State of World Population report: Unleashing the Potential of Urban Growth points out, this is the kind of price that a city—any city—will pay if it fails to support, plan for or house an expanding population of the urban poor. What makes the Downtown Eastside so different is that it is located in one of the most prosperous cities in one of the world’s most prosperous countries. "

State of World Population 2007 (site review)
In terms of human settlement patterns, the world’s population is undeniably becoming more and more urbanized. By 2008, over half of the world’s population will be living in urban areas, and by 2030, it is estimated that 5 billion people will live in urbanized areas. This is but one of the aspects of the world’s population that is discussed within the interactive pages of the 2007 State of World Population report. Released in June 2007, the report can be viewed in its entirety on this site, and it is available in English, Spanish, French, Arabic, and Russian. The website also includes a youth supplement, titled “Growing Up Urban”. Here, visitors can learn about the experiences of young people in Taijin, China, Mumbai, Caior, and San Salvador. A multimedia presentation is also made available here, and visitors can listen to those who have recently moved to cities talk about their experiences, opportunities, and challenges.
