Document Summary
Social welfare and labor rights movement through ages: western europe during industrial revolution, historical glance through 4 periods of social welfare development in canada, housing policy through 4 periods. Labor is a powerful social construct- isn"t necessarily a natural way in the world- it is designed with a purpose. Sol: = happens a lot in history people are desperate when something changes and they plea to the government for help and beg= government intervening. Land owners must find work to give them, cant have people on streets. First time government intervention was articulated in a social policy: **government articulates who is deserving and not deserving of relief (important in modern day)- decide this by physical ability. If you do not find labor for money it puts a bad reputation on that person: value position about lack of employment. Industrial capitalism is starting to develop in british north america: first mill in hamilton- 1815. Long hours, no breaks: children working, abuse.
