From the Food Mail Program to Nutrition North Canada: The impact on food insecurity among Indigenous and non‐Indigenous families with children

Angela Daley, Sujita Pandey, Shelley Phipps, Barry Watson

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique > 57 > 1 > 27 - 54

Food insecurity is prevalent in northern Canada, especially among Indigenous peoples. As one approach to address this issue, the federal government subsidizes the shipping of necessities to remote northern communities, initially through the Food Mail Program and then Nutrition North Canada as of April 2011. We use the Canadian Community Health Survey (2007 to 2016) and a difference‐in‐differences...

Unequal opportunities and public policy: The impact of parental disability benefits on child postsecondary attendance

Kelly Chen, Lars Osberg, Shelley Phipps

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique > 52 > 4 > 1401 - 1432

This paper uses Canada's National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth to examine whether greater cash transfers available to parents with disabilities when their child was aged 5 to 15 increase the chances that the child will attend postsecondary education (PSE) as a young adult. We exploit differences across provinces and over time in the generosity of provincial disability benefits programs...

In Children’s Voices

Peter Burton, Shelley Phipps

Children’s Well-Being: Indicators and Research > From Child Welfare to Child Well-Being > Theoretical Perspectives > 217-228

Economics, as a discipline, has paid relatively little attention to children. Several explanations for this inattention are plausible: (1) economics tends to focus on models of individual choice and children are typically given limited agency; (2) economics focuses on analysis of markets while children live in a world largely outside the market as traditionally defined (e.g., home production activities...

Young in class: Implications for inattentive/hyperactive behaviour of Canadian boys and girls

Kelly Chen, Nicole Fortin, Shelley Phipps

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique > 48 > 5 > 1601 - 1634

Using data from the Statistics Canada National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY), this paper investigates the impact of school entry age on inattentive/hyperactive behaviours. We employ both an across‐provinces and time difference‐in‐differences approach and a within‐province regression discontinuity design. We find that being young in class causes greater inattentive/hyperactive behaviour,...

Canadian Policies for Families with Very Young Children in International Perspective

Shelley Phipps

Children’s Well-Being: Indicators and Research > From Child Welfare to Child Well-Being > Economic Support > 309-338

In this chapter, Canadian policies for families with children under the age of three are compared with those available in eight other affluent countries (i.e., Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, the UK, and the US), three from each of Esping-Andersen’s “three worlds” of welfare capitalism (Esping-Andersen, 1990). The focus on policies for families with very young children seems an appropriate...

From Child Welfare to Child Well-Being

Sheila B. Kamerman, Shelley Phipps, Asher Ben-Arieh

Children’s Well-Being: Indicators and Research

This unique and impressive collection is an outstanding tribute to Al Kahn, one of the most influential researchers on child welfare in the 20^th century. The book provides an exceptional opportunity to "experience" the history of the past 50 years of child welfare as well as its current status and future. It takes the reader through the movement, from a deficit-oriented policy to a...

Inter-generational effects of disability benefits: evidence from Canadian social assistance programs

Kelly Chen, Lars Osberg, Shelley Phipps

Journal of Population Economics > 2015 > 28 > 4 > 873-910

Individuals with disabilities face greater challenges in the labor market than able-bodied individuals, and a growing body of research is finding that their children also tend to have more developmental problems than the children of able-bodied parents. Can transfer payments help reduce this gap? In this paper, we present the first evidence on how parental disability benefits affect the well-being...

The Well-Being of Adolescents in Northern Canada

Peter Burton, Angela Daley, Shelley Phipps

Child Indicators Research > 2015 > 8 > 3 > 717-745

The Territorial North (i.e. Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut) is markedly different from the rest of Canada; yet there is little statistically reliable information about adolescent well-being in the region. The objective of this paper is to create a portrait of adolescent well-being in the Territorial North relative to Southern Canada. We do so using the Canadian Community Health Survey, a nationally...

Child health and parental paid work

Peter Burton, Kelly Chen, Lynn Lethbridge, Shelley Phipps

Review of Economics of the Household > 2017 > 15 > 2 > 597-620

We ask how the paid work of Canadian married mothers and fathers is affected when a child has a physical/mental condition or health problem that leads to restrictions in daily activities. Using the Statistics Canada National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth, we find that married mothers of children with disabilities are less likely to engage in paid work and/or work fewer paid hours per week...

From Parent to Child: Emerging Inequality in Outcomes for Children in Canada and the U.S.

Peter Burton, Shelley Phipps, Lihui Zhang

Child Indicators Research > 2013 > 6 > 2 > 363-400

In this paper, we ask whether there are Canada/U.S. differences in the extent to which children who were rich versus poor during their early years have developed differences in outcomes by the time they reach adolescence or early adulthood. Using comparable longitudinal data for each country, separate analyses are first conducted for rich compared to poor children living in Canada and rich compared...

Children with disabilities and chronic conditions and longer-term parental health

Peter Burton, Lynn Lethbridge, Shelley Phipps

Journal of Socio-Economics > 2008 > 37 > 3 > 1168-1186

This paper uses panel data from the Statistics Canada National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (1994–2000) to study the implications of parenting a child with a disability or chronic condition for subjective assessments of parental health. We find mother's health to be negatively affected, particularly if the disability is longer-term. Within families, the wife's health deteriorates relative...

Control over money and the savings decisions of Canadian households

Shelley Phipps, Frances Woolley

Journal of Socio-Economics > 2008 > 37 > 2 > 592-611

In most countries, men have more life insurance than women, and are more likely to be members of employer pension plans. However, little is known about savings behaviour within households, for example, the name under which assets are held. Private savings could counterbalance or exacerbate inequality in other forms of pension access. This is important both in itself and as a determinant of future...

Economic Resources, Relative Socioeconomic Position and Social Relationships: Correlates of the Happiness of Young Canadian Teens

Peter Burton, Shelley Phipps

Child Indicators Research > 2008 > 1 > 4 > 350-371

This paper uses a large, nationally representative microdata survey to conduct a multivariate analysis of the correlates of self-assessed happiness for Canadian 12 to 15 year olds living in two-parent families. We ask whether the same factors matter for the happiness of young teens as for adults. And, we ask whether the correlates of being at the bottom of the young teen happiness distribution are...

Health Outcomes for CHILDREN in Canfrrada, England, Norway and the United States

Shelley Phipps

Social Indicators Research > 2007 > 80 > 1 > 179-221

*An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Conference on Cross-National Comparisons of Expenditures on Children, Princeton University, Center for Research on Child Well-being, January 7–9, 2004 and I thank participants at that conference for very helpful feed-back, in particular, Janet Currie and Cecilia Rouse. I would like to thank the Canadian Population Health Initiative for funding...

Social transfers and the health status of mothers in Norway and Canada

Lori Curtis, Shelley Phipps

Social Science & Medicine > 2004 > 58 > 12 > 2499-2507

The unconditional health status of lone mothers is worse than that of married mothers in Canada but not in Norway. Even controlling for demographic characteristics and health behaviours in Canada, the health status of lone mothers is worse. Only after we control for income does the differential in health status between married and lone mothers in Canada disappear. An important difference between the...
