Two of the groups most likely to be at risk in terms of falling under the poverty line are native. no solid answer for why, but few contributing causes are clear. aboriginal canadians are affected by discrimination and low levels of education explain their high jobless rate and lower incomes. women are affected by factors of single parent mothers with children under the age of 18 and unattached women. segregated to lower-paying occupations and the greater number of women than men who work part-time. One of the important dimensions of equality, and one of the chief influences on it is socio- economic mobility.
