Presentation transcript:

Between the mid-1990s and the late 2000s, the Gini coefficient for all G8 countries increased. This trend demonstrates a growing gap between the rich and the poor. Implications There are a number of factors that have caused income inequality to grow in Canada and its peer countries. Changes in the structure of the population—mainly the rise in the number of lone-parent households—is one factor that has driven the increase in income inequality.1 In Canada, 80% of all lone-parent homes are headed by women. “In 2010, almost 22% of children living in female headed lone-parent families experienced low income, whereas just fewer than 6% of children living in two parent families were in low income homes.”2 1OECD.
