In today’s labour market, a full-time job at minimum wage does not provide a family with enough resources to escape poverty.
In 2006, 40.2% of low income children lived in families where at least one income earner worked full-year, full-time.
Almost two out of three (63.5%) low income children live in families in which parents are forced to piece together various work arrangements including part-time and/or seasonal work in order to get full-time hours.

With political analysis, commentary on party platforms and government action (and inaction) and links to the latest research reports. ECP Now! is engaging and engaged.
