Book Description
This study examines the impact on women of funding social programs through the tax system using the framework of tax expenditure analysis, which allows viewing of any departure from the normative tax system as a spending measure. The analysis takes in to account the socio-economic realities of women's lives and compares the benefits to women with benefits to men of many tax measures that are subsidies in respect of social programs. Tax measures explored include the child care expense deduction, the Canada Child Tax Benefit, tax subsidies for retirement saving, the disability tax credit, and tax relief for caregivers. The study concludes with a list of issues that should be considered by those involved in the tax policy process in order to ensure that women are not disadvantaged in comparison to men when tax subsidies are used to fund social programs.

Mothers as Earners, Mothers as Carers

Pages : 286
Book Description
This report examines how taxation can be used as an instrument of social policy to further women's equality, reduce women's economic vulnerability, and support mothers as earners and caregivers. The research presented combines an analysis of the federal income tax system with focus group findings illustrating the real-life experiences of mothers. It integrates gender equality, family policy, and tax policy goals into a single framework which includes social, economic, and administrative considerations, and it advances the notion that the goal of gender equality can be compatible with a focus on children. The report makes recommendations regarding tax provisions related to child care and includes proposals for a progressive child allowance & family leave program, among others, which contribute to building an adequate income floor and supporting women in their dual roles.

Femmes Et L'emploi
Author: Kathleen Ann Lahey
Publisher: Condition féminine Canada
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : fr
Pages : 236
Book Description
This study analyzes how Canadian fiscal policy reinforces the many social, economic and legal barriers women face when they try to gain equal access to full-time work with equal pay. It examines basic structural features of the tax and social assistance system for their tendency to place pressure on women to choose unpaid or poorly paid irregular work to optimize the well-being of their families. These include provisions that treat the adult couple as the basic unit of fiscal policy, joint income limits on the child tax benefit, and the Goods and Services Tax credit. The report outlines structural proposals to remove these barriers and assesses the proposals for their probable impact on women who are further disadvantaged by their race or ethnic origin, marital status, sexuality or disability.
