The Prime Minister says: we have reduced child poverty by hundreds of thousands. Please look at this graph of destitution. Most important is the problem - the steep rise in destitution - but also important is trying to say that it doesn't exist.

A national scandal: Levels of destitution not seen since the earlier 20th century are just the tip of an iceberg of poisonous inequality, insecurity and destruction

Health deserves a prominent position within the EU budget, with explicit backing in the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF).
The principles of the Economy of Wellbeing should be followed by the new EU institutions to enhance the health of individuals, the planet & the economy.
ALT Health has its place in the EU budget and should be clearly supported in the MFF, with a strong EU4Health budget. The Economy of Wellbeing should guide the new EU institutions in improving the health of the people, the planet, and the economy.

Impressive evidence of the effectiveness of Ottawa's Canada-wide early learning & childcare plan in today's fall fiscal update. The cost parents pay for childcare has fallen dramatically. 1/2

Do unconditional cash transfers boost fertility?
We found that casino-based cash transfers were linked with an increase in conceptions that result in births at 1 & 3 months after payment. Increase concentrates among first-time moms.
Similar to Alaska Permanent fund findings!

This is a really important point from Rachel Reeves - insecurity fundamentally limits people's ability to make longer term plans & work towards them
As well as informing an approach to work, this insight needs to shape the adequacy & reliability of our social security system
ALT Quote from Rachel Reeves: "You cannot dream big if you cannot sleep in peace at night. The peace that comes from knowing you have enough to put aside for a rainy day and the knowledge that, when you need them, strong public services will be there for you and your family."

Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices. However, this yearโs economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has shown that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same occupation, and that it largely arises with the birth of the first child.

This is shocking. I mean, who would've "thunk" it? -- Giving people money who don't have money would be a solution. And here I am, over here thinking that marriage was the solution. ๐ค

A person, by virtue of living in Alberta, does not pay more into CPP than other Canadians.
That same person does not receive less out of CPP by virtue of living in Alberta.
The whole "Albertans are subsidizing other people's pensions" shtick is pretty tiresome.
