What Is Proverty?

By: Bernice Chong (BC)

Proverty in Canada has the following statistics about the current reality. Did you know 1 in 7 (or 4.9 million) people in Canada are living with poverty. In Edmonton, 1 to 8 individuals were living with proverties. Between 1980 and 2005, the average earnings among the least wealthy Canadians fell by 20%.

Currently, an income inequality measure known as low income cut-off (LICO) published by Statistics Canada is frequently used as a poverty rate and is 10.8% as of 2005. Statistics Canada is looking into creating an initiative on how to better calculate the poverty line.

Disabilities & Special Needs: It is part of proverty because, it can lead through jobs loss and reduce earnings, barriers to education skills development, significant additional expenses, and many other challanges. So, it goes by hand by those who are in need. Proverty is shared to 14.3% of Canadians. Women with disabilites had exprience lower rates of participation labour force. It is less access to income support programs and higher rates of proverty.

Deforestation, overgrazing, and land degradation have damaged Canadian ecosystems, and are exacerbating the risks of disasters such as floods, tornados, earthquake, and landslides. Very often, it is women who are most affected by disasters in Canada. In 2015, the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan adopted a framework that emphasises better understanding of risk, governance systems to manage risk, building resilience, as well as enhancing response and recovery. Local governments in Canada can engage citizens in preparing for natural disasters, developing response and relief plans with the participation of local communities.

People were struggled with a lack of income and increasing high costs of shelter and food. Many who are struggling do not access any food program at all due to stigma, not knowing about them or inability to access them because of lack of money for transit or lack of physical accessibility. Yet we do know that for tens of thousands of people across Toronto, the food bank has become part of their social safety net. Aside from those important trends, poverty and hunger cut across all demographic boundaries. More and more in Toronto, they include those with both high and low levels of education.

What is the word "Auditory" means, and why it is a learning style?

Whatever your strongest Learning Styles results are, the best way to learn something is to try using all three Learning Style approaches whenever you can.
