Poverty in Ontario : ウィキペディア英語版 | Poverty in Ontario Poverty in Ontario refers to people living in Ontario deprived of or facing serious challenges in meeting basic needs such shelter, food, clothing and other essential needs. Based on relative and absolute measures, there is a significant level of poverty in Ontario. == Measures of poverty == The provincial or federal governments of Ontario do not use a single poverty measure. Statistics Canada provides several poverty indicating measures such as Low-Income Measure (LIM), Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) and Market-Basket Measure (MBM). Other measures used include Depth of Poverty and Ontario Housing Measure. Most of these measures are relative indicators of poverty. They are most effective in analyzing the characteristics of the relatively worst off families and reporting trends.〔 The Ontario government uses an array of these measures for its programs. Several reports have provided insights about the absolute level of poverty in Ontario. According to the ''Household Food Insecurity in Canada'' report by University of Toronto affiliated research group PROOF, 8.2% of Ontario's households face severe or moderate food insecurity. 16.4% of children live in food insecure households.〔 According to the Salvation Army's ''“Canada Speaks” Exposing Persistent Myths About the 150,000 Canadians Living on the Streets'' report 6% of Ontarians are or have been homeless.〔 Many aboriginal communities in Ontario such as Attawapiskat, Pikangikum, Constance Lake, Eabametoong and Kashechewan have been compared to the world's poorest. They are severely lacking in basic infrastructure including clean water, sanitation, housing, roads, education, health and employment services.〔
