Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper, we use intersectionality-based policy analysis (IBPA) to examine how COVID-19 income support policies enacted in Ontario, Canada, affected people living with poverty. We find that the privileging of formal labor market attachment in eligibility requirements systemically excluded constituencies most likely to be living with poverty. More broadly, these exclusions represent a retrenchment of neoliberal logics in social policy, and the rejection of universal social welfare programs. In conclusion, we suggest that the experiences of people living with poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic further highlight the need for comprehensive social welfare programs, including a universal basic income.

立法贫困？加拿大安大略省新冠肺炎收入支持计划的跨部门政策分析

本文采用基于交叉性的政策分析(IBPA)来研究加拿大安大略省制定的新冠肺炎收入支持政策对贫困人口的影响。我们发现，在资格要求中给予正式劳动力市场依附的特权，系统性地排除了最有可能生活在贫困中的选区。更广泛地说，这些排斥代表了社会政策中新自由主义逻辑的收缩，以及对普遍社会福利计划的拒绝。最后，我们认为，2019冠状病毒病大流行期间贫困人口的经历进一步凸显了全面社会福利计划的必要性，包括全民基本收入。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
