Incentives and Disincentives to Work is an attempt by the National Council of Welfare to shed light on issues that seem destined to be at the centre of the public policy stage for the rest of the decade. 

The core of the report is an analysis of the labour market realities facing recipients of welfare and unemployment insurance and detailed calculations of the financial incentives and disincentives to work for recipients of both programs.

The report also discusses other incentives or disincentives that are built into provincial welfare systems and reviews some of the programs that were aimed specifically at helping welfare recipients into paying jobs.
