$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
(Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), 2009-09) 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.

Communities Respond - Summary Report of PFS Consultations 2011-2012
(Poverty Free Saskatchewan, 2012-10) Banks, Brian; DeSantis, Gloria; Gilmer, Peter; Gingrich, Paul; Mulvale, Jim; Nelson, Kristin; Havelock, Joanne
Recently Saskatchewan has experienced an increase in economic activity – a “boom”, but this monetary gain has not been experienced by everyone. Many people struggle daily without adequate income, food, or housing. Poverty affects a very wide range of people. Groups that are particularly hard hit are Aboriginal (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) people, newcomers, women (especially senior women), single men, students, youth, people with disabilities, people with addictions and mental health issues, people leaving prisons, and vulnerable and special needs populations, including those with intellectual challenges. Poverty is a problem in urban, rural and northern locations. Poverty excludes many Saskatchewan residents from full participation in our province. Yet Saskatchewan is the only province in Canada without a comprehensive and coordinated strategy to deal with poverty. People in every part of Saskatchewan have decided that it is time for action and are seeking solutions .Previously, PFS published two documents: Let’s Do Something About Poverty and Strategies to Eliminate Poverty in Saskatchewan. To gauge citizen response and advance the work of eliminating poverty in the province, PFS conducted a series of consultations in 2011 and 2012. The Communities Respond report outlines the input received from the community discussions. These ideas will be used in future to develop an integrated and comprehensive poverty elimination plan. This plan will be built on the results of the community consultations, and a review of successful strategies in other provinces and in local Saskatchewan communities.

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?
