    $547 Million to Eliminate Poverty in Saskatchewan
    (University of Regina Library, 2020-01-26) Gingrich, Paul; Rosenbluth, David
    Across Canada and in Saskatchewan a range of social programs provide financial help for those at low income – child benefits, tax credits, income for the elderly, and social assistance. These provide financial support beyond what individuals and families gain from their employment and other income. They help financially but in many cases are insufficient to prevent poverty.

    Boom and Bust: The Growing Income Gap in Saskatchewan - September 2009
    (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), 2010-01-26) Gingrich, Paul
    Income inequality among Saskatchewan families has increased rapidly since 2000. As the Saskatchewan economy has became more prosperous, upper income families have benefited most from economic expansion. The share of aftertax income received by the twenty per cent of families with the highest incomes was over forty per cent in 2006, the largest share in thirty years. In contrast, the share of after-tax income for the twenty per cent of families with the least income declined to just over six per cent (6.2%), their smallest share in thirty years.

    A Living Wage for Regina
    (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), 2014-01) Gingrich, Paul; Enoch, Simon; Banks, Brian
    Since the Great Recession of 2008 the Canadian economy has been sluggish and unemployment has remained at high levels. The growth in Saskatchewan’s resource industries and the continuation of very low interests rates have insulated us from the worst effects of the recession. Those who measure the inflation rate have consistently reported that it has been two percent annually or less. Many families based on their lived experience suggest that real inflation is much higher than this. Apartment and condo rental rates, home purchases, the cost of water, some food products, gasoline and other energy sources have risen more than two percent. This has led us question what is the real cost of living in Regina for the average family. What annual income does a family require to maintain a decent standard of living? What is the Living Wage in Regina?

    Poverty in Saskatchewan - October 2020 update
    (University of Regina Library, 2020-10-09) Gingrich, Paul
    Revised poverty statistics show that the number of persons in poverty in Saskatchewan in 2018 was 122 thousand persons, over 25 per cent more than the 96 thousand reported before the revision. In September, Statistics Canada revised the Official Poverty Line (OPL) for Canada, putting the poverty threshold for a family of four in Regina at $44,833; for a person living alone it is one-half that, or $22,416. Those living in households with incomes below these levels are in poverty. The new poverty line is approximately seven thousand dollars greater than earlier, with increased shelter costs accounting for the largest part of the increase.
