Canada's chief emphases ought to be its citizens that are touched by paucity, finding the true cause of such a situation and the manner in which the country can help the one major problem affecting Canadians today. So, before helping others Canada needs to worry about helping its own citizens who are in need (Osberg, 2008)
Poverty is triggered by more than a few reasons including inequalities in folks' income, feeble social services as well as want of additional social supports. Though the Canadian government has made changes to its policies these have not adequately met the problem of income inequalities, and poverty (Sarlo, 2006)
The official poverty thresholds do not vary geographically, but they are updated for inflation using Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The official poverty definition uses money income before taxes and does not include capital gains or noncash benefits such as public housing, Medicaid, and food stamps"(Bartle, 2011)
There are varies backgrounds that people come from, an in each community or society or even culture, there is always the stories of people and how they lived with each other. Therein are the details of the people who were once rich within that society as well as those who were poor (Joe Reichertz, 2012)
The capitalists then use this wealth to influence society, according to Marx. The capital owned employs workers who create surplus, and this surplus is used to create more surpluses, either through more industry, or through interest or rent charges (Marx, online)
Many theories have been pegged from Social Darwinism. Common of these theories are Laissez Fair, capitalism, racism, eugenics, fascism and imperialism (Davies, 1992, pp
In contrast, Social Darwinism perceptions of the Progressive Era held that poverty was a manifestation of an individual's fundamental unfitness. Hence, the movement geared toward cultural uniformity and eradication of poverty did go beyond individual interpretations of poverty and toward of social explanation (Hausman, 2007, pp
Thirdly, the New deal never directed its arsenal on a particular economic stakeholder. Efforts were centered in minimizing deficits, banking reforms and trade liberalization (Johnston, 2013, pp
Part of these programs was infrastructure, education, or health programs. The New Deal and Lyndon War provided self-help and community based initiatives fostered in raising commitment of the government towards poverty eradication plans (Leonard, 2009, pp
In fact, debates of survival by then suppressed debates of self-improvement. The economically disadvantaged were staged on the stereotypical debates of capitalism (Marciano and Koppl, 2009, pp
The debate of equality did crop in almost every stage of development. For this reason, progressive economists understood that their ideologies could not thrive in a laissez faire driven Darwinist economy (Margaret, 2013)
However, the ideology spread to cater for people who were economically challenged. It should be recalled that during the inception of this idea, Britain has slowly defeated Agrarian ideologies (Jansson, 2009, p
In this regard, the chief statistician for Statistics Canada emphasizes that, "Many individuals and organizations both in Canada and abroad understandably want to know how many people and families live in 'poverty,' and how these levels change. Reflecting this need, different groups have at different times developed various measures which purported to divide the population into those who were poor and those who were not" (Fellegi, 1997, para
S. (Hick, 2007); rather, different definitions are used by various organizations and agencies in Canada which all measure poverty differently (Ross et al
Given this importance, it is not surprising that these issues have assumed new relevance and importance in recent years but there remains a lack of an "official" definition of poverty that is used by all Canadian governmental agencies (Ross, Scott & Smith, 2000). Despite this lack, Reutter, Veenstra and Stewart (2006) estimate that around 14% of Canadians currently live in poverty; moreover, estimates of poverty are much higher rates for some other groups in Canada, including single-parent mother families, female seniors without partners, urban Aboriginals and immigrants who arrived in Canada recently (Reutter et al
1). Given this importance, it is not surprising that these issues have assumed new relevance and importance in recent years but there remains a lack of an "official" definition of poverty that is used by all Canadian governmental agencies (Ross, Scott & Smith, 2000)
The groups were classified as the bourgeois and the proletariat or the middle class and the worker group respectively. (Marx, 1970) the development of social stratification was described in the Communist manifesto in 1848
Migration was also stated to play a role in the distribution of policy on a spatial measure with poor people having the tendency to circulate between several poor places and thus perpetuating instead of the preferred "relieving"[of] the spatial concentration of poverty. (Nord et al

Writers talk about a "culture of poverty" or "underclass" to describe people who seem unable to break out of their poverty-stricken circumstances. Researchers describe them as "completely demoralized and declassed by their experiences at the very bottom of the economic ladder" (Bush, 2003)
