Work Is not Working for Families

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.
