The article focuses on Canadian Family allowance Act 1944. The new act is expected to initiate a number of important changes in the national economy. It involves redistribution of the national income and hence increased purchasing power among people in the lower income groups. This will widen the home market for food, clothing and services needed by families. Hence the spending of family allowances will help cushion the Canadian economy during the period when transition from wartime to peacetime production must be made. The new legislation has received very little criticism, even from organized labor, which until recent years feared that family allowances would weaken its claims for upward revision of wages. The fact that wage scales in both Australia and New Zealand have risen since these countries introduced family allowance schemes is believed by some observers to have allayed these fears among labor interests in Canada. However, the Canadian Liberal federal government's enactment of family allowances have two very vocal critics in premiers of Quebec and Ontario. Interestingly enough, their protests are based on widely different reasons. |
