In this study, we investigated the correlation between area of residence and
employment opportunities in a disadvantaged community: Lord Selkirk Park in
Winnipeg.
We concluded that state-led demand side strategies aimed at employment
generation may contribute to a higher level of economically active
residents, as well as citizen participation in the local community. There is
substantial potential for increased economic value of targeting employment
opportunities to willing job-seeking residents in this community.
CCPA not only does first-rate research; it also connects with the real world by putting powerful information in the hands of advocacy groups and by presenting intelligent, progressive ideas in the media. It is a BC jewel and I urge everyone to support it.
