Outside the city walls: the construction of poverty in Alberta's Income and Employment Supports Act

Goa, Birte Hannah Katherine Ruth 11 1900 (has links)
Considerable research has been done on conceptions of poverty and on the welfare state; however, there is little research into the relationship between the two the ways in which poverty discourses shape welfare states and how transitions in welfare states influence poverty discourses. Using Critical Discourse Analysis, I explore the underlying construction of poverty in Albertas income-support policy as it has developed within an active social policy framework. In the government documents analyzed, poverty is constructed as an objective and neutral assessment of unmet basic needs and is effectively removed from political debate. Also constructed as a lack of labour-market attachment, the poverty discourse that does exist is subsumed within the market discourse. The thesis argues that we need to expand our conceptions of poverty to improve our poverty alleviation strategies, to revitalize the place of social policy in Alberta, and to enrich the way in which we live together. / Family Ecology and Practice

The object of this study were the virtuosities, potentialities and limits of the Work and Income Generation Program of the Municipal Administration of Chapecó/SC, during the 2001/2004 administration, and the experiences of workers inserted on solidary economic enterprises proposed as an alternative to poverty and unemployment. The objective of this investigation contemplated the analysis of this Program and the experiences of these workers, based on the meanings that are recognized and expressed in their lives regarding work generation, income and social inclusion, allowed by the participation in the referred enterprises. This qualitative research was based on discursive, bibliographic and documental material. The study subjects were the workers from the solidary economic enterprises, as well as administrators and technicians of the Program which, when interviewed, enabled the access to dense empirical data. The theoretical reference was based on significative bibliographical productions concerning themes as work, active social policies, social protection and solidary economy, correlated to the investigated object. This study revealed that the Work and Income Generation Program of the Municipal Administration of Chapecó/SC, proposed on the active social policy perspective, proved to be an alternative to the generation of work and income, as well as a possibility of social inclusion conditions, although having limits and challenges in its effectiveness / Na presente tese, investigou-se o tema trabalho e políticas sociais ativas, analisado a partir de um programa de geração de trabalho e renda, situado no campo da economia solidária.
