About the Event

How do we measure economic inequality in Canada? Why does it matter? What causes it? These important questions are addressed in the Fraser Institute’s new teacher workshop, Understanding Poverty and Inequality.

At this workshop we will examine the differences between poverty, inequality, income and wealth. You will leave with an understanding of income mobility and what we mean by rich and poor in Canada and around the world.
