    Title:Environment
    Author(s):Morgan, Alexis
    Subject:Environmental issues – general
    Publisher:Canadian Index of Wellbeing
    Place of Publication:Waterloo ON
    Date of Publication:2011
    Abstract:

    This is the first edition of the Environment Domain Report for the Canadian Index of Wellbeing. The report provides a snapshot on the state and the trends in Canada‘s environment using a set of anthropocentric, natural capital-based indicators. It also represents the beginning of a discussion about how the stocks and flows of Canada‘s natural capital affect human wellbeing. The report therefore highlights some of the choices that policy makers need to consider in order to optimize the long-term wellbeing of Canadians.

  • 2011 Educated Employed Equal

    Title:Educated, employed and equal: the economic prosperity case for national child care.
    Corporate Author: YWCA Canada
    Subject:Child care – general
    Publisher:YWCA Canada
    Place of Publication:Toronto
    Date of Publication:2011
    Abstract:

    Women’s advances in the work force and education over the last three decades demonstrate an unstoppable movement toward equality and mark a quiet revolution in women’s lives. The gender gap has closed in employment numbers and reversed in education without a corresponding social policy response. Canada needs early learning and child care services, not a social policy gap that is decades behind reality.
