Canada’s New Working Class

Canada’s New Working Class offers leaders a contemporary, modern understanding of the 6.5 million Canadians who are in the working class. One key finding is that members of Canada’s working class are as likely to be women or recent immigrants in sales or service jobs as they are to be men doing blue-collar, mostly unionized, manufacturing work. Canada's New Working Class busts stereotypes and outlines a true, inclusive working-class agenda.

Like many other Western countries, Canada is experiencing a demographic shift towards an aging society. This shift will create challenges for the health-care system as Canadians consider issues of aging, long-term care, and ultimately, end-of-life care. Aging and end-of-life care became medicalized during the previous century, but over the last few decades there has been a movement towards a public health model of aging. This model encourages everyone to take responsibility for care of older adults and seeks to enhance community support and engage other social institutions and structures. One facet of this has been a more thoughtful consideration of the role of natural caregivers and the relationships, networks, and social capital that sustain and empower them.

A Framework for Implementing Community Benefits Agreements

Governments need to consider how CBAs can increase costs, both internally through greater project-management costs and externally on businesses, and how they can lead to overall cost increases for projects.
