TORONTO – Ontario’s after-tax income gap between the richest and poorest 10% of families raising children under 18 has reached an all-time high, according to a new study released by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA).
The richest 10% of families now earn 75 times more than the poorest 10%. In 1976, they earned only 27 times more.
