- Articles and reports: 75F0002M2025005Description: By combining data from administrative files, such as the T5007 slip that provides information about receipt of social assistance (SA) with data on income tax returns (T1), this paper aims to document the rate of non-filers among those who have received social assistance by different sociodemographic variables. This paper also investigates the potential eligibility of non-filers for the GST and HST and Climate Action Incentive non-refundable credit.Release date: 2025-05-15
- Articles and reports: 75F0002M2025003Description: This discussion paper outlines the proposed changes and updates for the 2023-base Market Basket Measure (MBM) methodology. The paper provides preliminary 2023-base thresholds and poverty rates for 2020 to 2023 and compares these to the 2018-base thresholds and poverty rates. In addition, the paper identifies research topics which will be conducted in preparation for the next comprehensive review and describes the necessary steps which will lead to a final 2023-base methodology planned for the Fall of 2025.Release date: 2025-05-01
- Articles and reports: 75F0002M2025001Description: Living under the poverty line means being unable to buy a basket of goods and services, like food, clothing and footwear, shelter, transportation, and other items. To further explore what is happening under the poverty line, the deep income poverty (DIP) line measures the cost of the most basic living necessities in a region and excludes other goods and services that many Canadians require but the poorest are most likely unable to afford. This paper uses the Canadian Income Survey to explore the deep income poverty in Canada as a measure between 2015 and 2022 and how it differs from the official poverty measure among sociodemographic groups. Poverty is a multifaceted issue and should not be summarized to a single indicator. While documenting the DIP measure, this paper also explores parallel indicators to complement the Market Basket Measure (MBM) of poverty.Release date: 2025-02-06
- Articles and reports: 75F0002M2024006Description: This paper details the outreach and engagement activities undertaken since the launch of the third comprehensive review of Market Basket Measure (MBM) in June 2023, and provides a summary of what Statistics Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) heard during this period. It also outlines the next steps of the review process which will lead to the creation of the 2023-base methodology.Release date: 2024-10-29
