The purpose of this paper is to examine whether or not Canada should adopt one measure of poverty. Currently, some examples of poverty measures found in Canada include LICO (low income cut‐offs), MBM (market basket measure) and LIM (low income measure). A policy analysis framework will be taken in order to first define our challenge at hand and to propose recommendations to address our problem. Throughout this exercise, a global viewpoint will also be taken to assess the different measures of poverty around the world, including those used in European countries.

Health policy analysis has been the focus of attention of a number of scholars, health practitioners and policy makers. However, there has been much less attention given to how to do policy analysis, what research designs, theories or methods best inform policy analysis. This study begins by looking at the health policy environment, and some of the challenges to researching this highly complex phenomenon. It focuses on research in middle and low income countries. Attention is drawn to the roles of the policy researcher and the importance of reflexivity and researcher's position in the research process and finally ways of advancing the field of health policy analysis is discussed.

This paper develops a computable overlapping generations (OLG) model for gender and growth policy analysis that brings to the fore the role of access to public infrastructure. The model accounts for human and physical capital accumulation, intra- and intergenerational health persistence, fertility choices, and women's time allocation between market work, child rearing, and home production. Bargaining between spouses and gender bias, in the form of discrimination in the work place and mothers' time allocation between daughters and sons, are also accounted for. The model is calibrated for a low-income country and various experiments are conducted, including improved access to infrastructure, an increase in subsidies to child care, a reduction in gender bias, and a composite gender-based reform program to assess the role of policy complementarities. The results illustrate the importance of accounting for changes in women's time allocation in assessing the impact of public policy on economic growth.
