Canadian Social Research Newsletter
July 30, 2010
Welcome to the weekly Canadian Social Research Newsletter,
a listing of the new links added to the Canadian Social Research
Links website in the past week.
The e-mail version of this week's
issue of the newsletter is going out to 2,307 subscribers.
Scroll to the bottom of this newsletter to
see some notes, a disclaimer
and other stuff that has nothing whatsoever to do with social policy...
Surprise!
The Canadian Social Research Newsletter
is a few days early this week due to some weekend commitments.
The newsletter will be back to its regular Sunday "slot" next week.
If you're one of those creatures of
habit who likes to read the newsletter
on Sunday afternoon/evening, please accept my apology for upsetting your routine;
just stop reading right now and set this email aside to allow the suspense to
build until
Sunday afternoon!
Cheers,
Gilles

1. THE CENSUS LONG FORM
QUESTIONNAIRE: "I still see and hear nothing. "-
July 29 |
The voluntary survey for the 2011
Census
(replacing the mandatory long form questionnaire):
Information previously collected by the
mandatory long-form census

Household Survey (NHS).

The 2011 Census questions were published in
the Canada Gazette on June 26, 2010. The census questions cover basic
demographic characteristics such as age, sex, marital and common-law
status, household relationships and mother tongue. There is also a
question asking for the consent of Canadians to release their personal
census information to the National Archives after 92 years.

Uses
of Census Long-form data – Question Justification
July 19, 2010
By Tracey Lauriault
As part of her PhD dissertation research, Tracey Lauriault has been
investigating the Census of Canada right back to 1871. This post to the
datalibre.ca blog is a summary list of 36 questions on the long form [
See 2006
Census questionnaires and guides ] and the rationale for including
each one in the Census.
Clear rebuttals to Tony Clement's speaking points!
Two examples:
Why does government need to know the
number of bedrooms in your home?
Because It helps to evaluate overcrowding, dwelling size, housing
condition and quality of life.
Why does government need to know how you
get to work each day?
To help plan urban growth and transportation networks, environmental
impact and energy consumption with transportation

with Multiple Barriers- July

Meaningful Training Programs for BC Welfare Recipients with
Multiple Barriers
Help First, Not Work First (PDF -
625K, 28 pages)
By Shauna Butterwick
July 26, 2010
Welfare "reform" in BC has made it more difficult to qualify for
welfare, and many of those who have managed to remain on income
assistance have multiple barriers to employment, including addiction,
mental and physical health problems, learning disabilities, lack of
English skills, unstable housing and homelessness. These recipients
have not been well served by the “reformed” system, particularly
employment training programs. This study examined the experiences of
welfare recipients participating in two types of pre-employment
programs: the BC Employment Program (BCEP) and the Community Assistance
Program (CAP). The study makes recommendations for providing more
effective and relevant services for people with multiple barriers.

Assistance Review to Income Security Review: Why it Matters for
Low-Income Ontarians - July 2010 (Income Security Advocacy Centre) |
From
Social Assistance Review to Income Security Review:
Why it Matters for Low-Income Ontarians
July 2010
The Social Assistance Review Advisory Council issued a report on June
14, 2010 (see below). In this report, the Council calls on the
provincial government to conduct an Ontario Income Security Review. The
Council’s report is important, because it gives the government a
roadmap for how to review social assistance and other income security
programs in Ontario. But it’s also important because it expands the
focus of the discussion.
Before, people were talking about how to improve Ontario Works (OW) and
the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP).
Now, we can talk about a bigger vision for how to improve all income
and support programs, so that people on OW and ODSP – and all
low-income people in Ontario – can have better, more productive, more
respectful programs to help them when they need it.

Poverty Reduction Plan: Updates and Developments (PDF -
1.3MB, 29 pages)
By Jean-Claude Basque and Auréa Cormier
June 2010
Excerpts:
* The Crown Corporation creates an additional layer of bureaucracy
* Decision making is further away from our elected members of the
Legislative Assembly
* The Board, the Secretariat and the group coordinating the Community
Inclusion Networks is a costly administrative structure
* Minister Lamrock said there would be no appeal process if decisons
made by the Community Inclusion Networks are contested
* For 97% of social assistance recipients, there are no changes in
sight before July 2011
* CFSJ's concerns with the Service delivery are:
--- Difficulties of access to services in rural areas
--- Uneven quality assurance in some of the networks
--- Possibility of lack of services, in some of the networks, in the
language of choice
---

The CFSJ promotes alternative policies in order to create a
society concerned mainly about human beings.
* fairer distribution of power, thus a more dynamic
democracy with greater participation;
* fairer distribution of wealth, thus a more equitable tax system;
* to improve the Canadian social security net, such as public health,
public welfare and unemployement insurance;
* to challenge the corporate agenda by attempting to counter policies
of privatization, deregulation and the withdrawal of the state;
* to increase the value and the dignity of human work.

TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) Update (The Urban Institute) |
TANF (Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families)
TANF is due for reauthorization by the end of 2010. Urban Institute
experts examine the effectiveness of TANF and provide evidence for
future policy decisions.
Definition of TANF:
A federal block grant to states, territories and tribes to cover
benefits, administration and services targeted to needy families with
children. TANF emphasizes self sufficiency through work participation
requirements, benefit time limits, and initiatives to encourage the
formation and maintenance of two-parent families.
Source:
The Urban Institute
The Urban Institute gathers data, conducts research, evaluates
programs, offers technical assistance overseas, and educates Americans
on social and economic issues — to foster sound public policy and
effective government.
---
The Canadian equivalent to TANF is the Canada Social Transfer.
Not really, though, because state welfare programs under TANF are
quite different from those in Canada in terms of benefit levels,
clientele, terms and conditions of welfare (max. 5 yrs in a lifetime)
and much more. Read the blurb that accompanies the link
to Eighth Annual Report on TANF to Congress (June 2009) for just a
few reasons why the American welfare system shouldn't be compared with
Canadian welfare programs.
