Getting By on the Minimum
First published in 2002. Jennifer Johnson profiles the real-life stories of more than sixty women who have no college education, are married with kids, and earn an average of $16,000 per year, giving us an important window into a large, poorly understood segment of our society. Through the words of these women, Johnson captures the essence of women's working-class experience: from job stagnation, low self-esteem, and social isolation to camaraderie among coworkers, loyalty to one's roots, and even pride in a job well done. This compassionately told book offers a captivating and emotional study of the difference class makes in women's lives, as well as the problems, restrictions, and rewards common to all women.

Getting on Track
New Democratic Party governments in Canada have always been strongly committed to redistributing wealth and stabilizing the economy, but present conditions require that they broaden their perspective. They must also find ways of generating wealth if they expect to finance new social programs or protect existing ones. As global pressures intensify, Bob Rae's Ontario NDP government needs to rethink many of its traditional approaches to public policy and discover new policy instruments to tackle the five principal agendas of social democracy: social welfare policy, labour market adjustment, employment equity, industrial strategy, and environmental recovery.
Change and Disruption
Change and Disruption: Sociology of the Future draws on classical and modern sociological theory to identify recent and emerging trends in the global system. The book probes the rise of authoritarian states, rifts in the relationship between humans and the rest of nature, the coming impact of artificial intelligence, and changes in work, cities, science, and the quality of life. These dynamics are explored through the animating question: will the positive potential of the modern world be realized or will the human condition spiral downward? Garner and Hancock employ sociological theory to tackle big questions about the societies of the present and the societies of the future. They use three ...
The CEPHID modelling project
This project is a complex set of micro-simulation models and databases which allows users from a wide variety of disciplines to construct and evaluate forecasts and simulations concerned with the causes and consequences of Canada's aging population. Chapter 1 is a brief statement by three representatives of the major funding agencies of the project. Chapter 2 is an overview of the CEPHID project. Chapter 3 presents a series of projections of health status attributes of the elderly. Chapter 4 describes the FADEP model, which is a major component of the CEPHID project. In Chapter 5, CEPHID is used to project the future needs for informal care amongst the elderly. Chapter 6 shows how CEPHID can be used to examine a tightly defined problem. Finally, Chapters 7 and 8 looks at methods of micro-simulation as models to study a variety of substantive issues.

Toward a Health Statistics System for the 21st Century
The Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) convened a workshop on November 4-5, 1999, to identify new directions for health statistics and the implications for health data of changes in the health arena faced by DHHS; state and local health departments; the consumers, developers, and providers of health care products and services; and other health policy makers. Changes in our understanding of health, in health care (managed care, Medicaid, Medicare), in welfare reform, in federal-state relations, in the availability of administrative data, in advanced genetic data, in information technology, in confidentiality issues, and in data integration are examples of recent developments that may play a significant role for DHHS in making future policy decisions.
