Abstract

Dans le present document, nous proposons un apercu des tendances de l'inegalite du revenu et du faible revenu au Canada dans une perspective internationale. Nous tentons notamment de repondre aux questions suivantes : - Apres quelques decennies de stabilite, l'inegalite du revenu familial est-elle en hausse au Canada? - L'inegalite du revenu au Canada est-elle faible ou elevee? - Le taux de faible revenu au Canada est-il faible ou eleve par rapport aux autres pays occidentaux? - Le regime d'impots et de transferts reduit-il davantage les taux de faible revenu au Canada qu'aux Etats-Unis ou dans les pays europeens? - Le taux et l'ecart de faible revenu ont-ils augmente au Canada au cours des deux dernieres decennies? - La hausse du taux de faible revenu des immigrants a-t-elle une incidence significative sur le taux global de faible revenu? - La plupart des periodes de faible revenu se prolongent-elles, et dans quels groupes se concentre la persistance du faible revenu? Pour repondre a ces questions, nous nous inspirons des resultats d'un certain nombre de documents.
