An Evaluation of the Old Age Pension System in Canada: An Analysis Based on the Socio-Economic Needs of One Hundred Aged Clients of the Family Welfare Association of Montreal
|
| Abstract |
An evaluation of the old age pension system, introduced in Quebec in 1936, after its first decade in operation. The author examined one hundred clients of the Family Welfare Association of Montreal, a private English-speaking Protestant social services organization. Of these clients, over half of whom were born in the British Isles, fifty-four were 70 years of age or older and thus eligable for a government old age pension, while forty-six were between the ages of 60 and 69 years, thus not yet eligable for the pension. The author outlines the restrictive regulations to apply for the pension, and the amounts of money a person might receive. This paper is an interesting examination of the early years of government-financed social welfare programs in Quebec.
