dc.description.abstractRevised 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.en_US
