Falling behind: Ontario’s backslide into widening inequality, growing poverty and cuts to social programs

Excerpts:

In this paper, we draw from - and introduce ourselves into -- the conversation that has been led by  innumerable activists, academics, media, and concerned community members before us. We have endeavoured to pull together the existing work and add to it our own research to sketch the  increasing inequality in Ontario. And we have tried to show how the consequences of our policy choices are suffered disproportionately by women, seniors, persons with disabilities, children, and  racialized communities.
