The Cost of Poverty

The Cost of Poverty was developed to draw the attention of the public and policy-makers to how expensive poverty really is and how all Canadians, not just those living in poverty, pay the price. The cost of poverty is one that Canada can ill afford. This publication challenges our assumptions and illustrates how we could improve our quality of life, in economic and human terms, by investing differently.
