Life and work at the margins: (Un)employment, poverty and activism in Canada’s disability community since 1966

CRWDP Reports

This report surveys the extent of poverty in the disability community over time, including ways in which experiences of poverty stimulated active resistance through anti-poverty and disability rights groups. It considers the impact these groups had on work disability policy as well as the dialectic of disability in policy circles and the broader public sphere.
