Understanding Poverty and Its Impact on Health
- Absolute poverty is defined as having an income below the absolute minimum level needed to afford basic necessities.
- The Government of Canada defines poverty as the condition of lacking resources, means, choices, and power to maintain a basic level of living standards and participate in society.
- Upstream approaches focus on collective strategies to address social determinants of health (SDoH), while downstream approaches target the immediate health needs of marginalized populations.
- The Gini Coefficient is used to measure income inequality, ranging from 0 (perfect equality) to 1 (perfect inequality).
- Economic inequality can significantly impact health, lifespan, and societal wellbeing, with a wide gap between rich and poor affecting trust and life expectancy.
- Hardest hit populations by poverty include women, children, older adults, homeless individuals, and racialized groups.
- Market Basket Measure (MBM) and Low Income Measure (LIM) are used to assess low income based on specific standards and household size.
- Poverty increases the risk for various diseases, and childhood poverty can have lasting impacts on health throughout an individual's lifespan.
- Income influences health through underinvestment in human and social capital, as well as psychosocially mediated effects.
- Poverty screening involves identifying poverty as a risk factor, intervening, and connecting individuals to necessary resources.
- Unemployment and job insecurity can lead to material and social deprivation, mental and physical health problems, and disruption of daily routines.
- Precarious work, including part-time, temporary, and self-employment, is prevalent in Canada, particularly affecting women, youth, seniors, and workers without positions.
