Document Summary
Chapter 18: the more things change the more we need child care. Learning intentions: to examine how government initiatives might enable working lives to be arranged differently, allowing adults. Following the royal commission on the status of women (1970) In 1966, the canada assistance plan (cap) was a federal-provincial cost-sharing agreement which supported low-income earners, including social welfare provisional for children in needy families. Over time federal-provincial cost sharing was renegotiated providing greater provincial autonomy. The cap was replaced with the canada health and social transfer. Many provinces tightened eligibility requirements and made cuts to social welfare rates. In 2006 stephen harper"s conservative federal government created the universal child care. Previous cost sharing agreements with the provinces were scrapped, and parents were provided with 100$ per month per child under 6. Unicef (2008) ranked canada at the bottom of 25 high cost country. Keeping the family intact: the lived experience of sheltered homeless families.
