Community tranformation from an economic costing perspective

The link between area of residence and places of employment in a disadvantaged community

About this Publication

In this study, we investigated the correlation between area of residence and
employment opportunities in a disadvantaged community: Lord Selkirk Park in
Winnipeg.

We concluded that state-led demand side strategies aimed at employment
generation may contribute to a higher level of economically active
residents, as well as citizen participation in the local community. There is
substantial potential for increased economic value of targeting employment
opportunities to willing job-seeking residents in this community.

The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
