abstract: 'Despite continued economic growth, Canada''s record on child poverty is
worse than it was in 1989, when the House of Commons unanimously
resolved to end child poverty by the year 2000. Most recent data
indicate that nearly 1.2 million children - almost one of every six
children - live in low-income households. Campaign 2000 contends that
poverty and income inequality are major barriers to the healthy
development of children, the cohesion Of Our Communities and,
ultimately, to the social and economic well,being of Canada. Canada
needs to adopt a poverty-reduction strategy that responds to the UNICEF
challenge to establish credible targets and timetables to bring the
child poverty rate well below 10\%, as other Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development nations have done. Campaign 2000 calls on
the federal government to develop a cross-Canada poverty-reduction
strategy in conjunction with the provinces, territories and First
Nations, and in consultation with low-income people. This strategy needs
to include good jobs at living wages that ensure that full-time work is
a pathway out of poverty; an effective child benefit of \$5,100 that is
indexed; a system of affordable, universally accessible early learning
and child care services available to all families irrespective of
employment status; an affordable housing program that creates more
affordable housing and helps to sustain existing stock; and affordable
and accessible postsecondary education and training programs that
prepare youth and adults for employment leading to economic
independence.'
