Tiivistelmä: | The Canadian government introduced a new child tax credit in 1998, which was innovative because the program integrated with social assistance (welfare). After the innovation some provinces agreed to subtract the new federally-paid benefits from provincially-paid social assistance, partially lowering the welfare wall. The article finds large changes in social assistance take-up and employment in provinces that provided the labour market incentives to do so. The sample shows that the integration of benefits can account for between 19 % and 27 % of the decline in social assistance receipt between 1997 and 2000. |
