〔講題〕 (1) Canada Welfare System: Combining European and American Approaches
(2) Immigration Status as a Key Determinant in Accessing Social Welfare in Canada
講者：Dr. Jill Hanley (Professor, School of Social Work, McGill University)
主持：臺大社工系 汪書華 副教授
講者介紹：
Dr. Jill Hanley, Professor at McGill School of Social Work and Scientific Director at SHERPA, focuses on bridging policy-practice gaps for migrant social rights. Her work delves into health, housing, and labor rights for precarious status migrants. Dr. Hanley's goal is to document challenges faced by migrants, empowering community groups and influencing policy change based on this information.
演講內容：
I will begin by reviewing the structure of the Canadian social welfare regime – a system that straddles European and American approaches. Canada’s federal structure, which includes important recognition of English, French and Indigenous rights, puts most of the responsibility for social welfare at the provincial level. I will discuss the pros and cons of provincial jurisdictions, the tensions between universal versus contributory, means-tested and residual welfare provision, and give some examples of how the Canadian welfare state has both expanded and retracted in recent years. I will then turn to my own research, which focuses on the impact of immigration status as a key determinant in access to social rights in Canada (e.g., access to healthcare, housing and labour rights). Given the centrality of migration in Canada’s society, economy and politics, the mobilization of immigration status to exclude a huge number of people from social rights is highly problematic.
