Traduction de «seuil de pauvreté relative » (Français → Anglais) :

However, Statistics Canada does not characterize these as poverty linings.

In Europe they've actually supplemented their relative income poverty lines with a series of deprivation indices, and they report on both.

In terms of solutions to this issue, to effect a society where we do not accept growing social exclusion and growing racialization of poverty as a fact of life we need first of all—and the Canadian Council on Social Development has called for—an effective anti-poverty strategy, which would look at such things as reducing the rate and depth of poverty; a national day-care strategy; a national initiative to raise the minimum wage in all jurisdictions above the poverty line; a national welfare standard that is above the poverty line; an effective strategy for ensuring full access to comprehensive disability supports; an enriched nation ...[+++]al child tax benefit, with assurances that all welfare families are eligible; the elimination of interprovincial residency requirements and fee differentials for long-term care and post-secondary education and other services; a coordinated strategy to build low-income housing and end homelessness; and the realization of food security.

Some 18% of the population, or more than 60 million people, are living in households with less than 60% of the median equalised income (the definition of poverty) and half of them were living below that threshold consistently throughout a three-year period (Graph 3 - Population with income below the poverty line).

I raised the point with the finance minister that a measure of poverty in Canada is important, not relative poverty which is what LICO is, but real poverty.

StatsCanada and the LICO are talking about relative poverty, not real poverty.
