women and poverty

Women have historically experienced higher rates of poverty in Canada according to relative measures such as Statistics Canada's low-income cut-offs (LICOs) as well as absolute measures such as level of wealth and earnings. One in five Canadian women, roughly 2.8 million women, was living in poverty in the year 2000. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Welfare History in North America; Women and Poverty]
