The great depression had a huge impact on Canada and the rest of the world in the 1930’s. At this time many workers had gotten laid off because employers could not afford to pay there them, lots of these workers had a difficult time trying to make a living for themselves and their families. Canada was struggling and the answer to fix it all was unclear, however some politicians believed they knew the solution. Canada’s Prime Minister Richard Bedford Bennet believed that raising tariffs on imported
of Unemployment on Health a Review of the Evidence is to review the scientific proof supporting an association between unemployment and opposing health results and to evaluate the evidence on the basis of the epidemiologic criteria for causation. The issues which will be discussed are the impact of unemployment on health in Canada which is death due to cardiovascular diseases, suicide, deaths due to motor-vehicle accidents and alcohol consumption.

Abstract This paper explores the impact that Great Depression of the 1930s had on Canada; with varying levels of impact on different sectors and groups. It also cites how unemployment rates were at an all-time high, how the role of women in the Canadian society changed from that of housewives to workers, where they provided for their family in the absence of men. The Great Depression left its mark on Canada, as it did on most countries around the world, but notably this North American country’s economy
admittedly only recently started taking interest in politics, there are three specific issued I would like to see discussed in in the campaigns. The three issues I would like to see discussed, and feel that they should not be ignored are; youth unemployment, business technology incentives, and the Syrian refugee. We live in a country, where we are constantly being told that in order to have a career, we must go to school, yet there are highly educated and skilled graduates struggling to find jobs

Novels, and to an extent films, are analyzed and discussed in detail. Some novels deal with heavy issues; human rights and controversial topics are more often analyzed and criticized. Of Mice and Men – a novel written during the Great Depression – deals with labor during that time period
Precarious employment is an increasingly common trend in not on only Canada, but around the world. Precarious labour is defined as unsecure work that provides low wages and minimal benefits. There are many different types of precarious labour such as part-time or temporary work, which have been found to negatively impact individuals and the economy.

It is visible that the amount of available full time jobs in Canada is becoming scarce and in need of review. The Unemployment rate of young adults with a post secondary education is constantly growing, by matters that they cannot control. With an increase in the rate of university attendees over the past thirty years, finding a full time job in their field of study ultimately becomes a lottery. Also, with vast migration from the Middle East to North America, this creates a larger demand for jobs
The first solution to this problem is to state that the threat of technological unemployment is another case of the Luddite Fallacy and do nothing. The Luddite Fallacy, named after the group of English textile workers who smashed industrialised looms in protest against the new machines that took their jobs. The fallacy is that the concerns involving long term unemployment due to technology do not include compensation within the economy, such as new jobs, increased specialization, and higher wages
Kiran Mirchandani, describes how Canada was in need of highly educated immigrants, because of the lack of knowledge and skills that can be found in them (Mirchandani, 61). In order to benefit the Canadian labour market, the immigration policy focused on well-educated immigrants (Mirchandani, 62). However, because of language and integration problem, immigrants were not better than Canadian citizens, which affected the expectations of a better labour market.
