Whitney Light: "Researchers Examine the Town With No Poverty". The Uniter 13, 1 December 2005 is a broken link. I couldn't find the article again. Phenophexadin (talk) 00:41, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

It's in the Web Archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20091106004643/http://archive.uniter.ca/view.php?aid=38460 208.80.80.223 (talk) 21:07, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Size of benefit?
So how much money did the get? AxelBoldt (talk) 04:25, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Seems to have varied person to person. You had to be under the poverty line to get anything at all. From the report "a family with no income from other sources would receive 60% of Statistics Canada low-income cut-off (LICO), which varied by family size. Every dollar received from other sources would reduce benefits by fifty cents. All benefits were indexed to the cost of living."-- Auric    talk  22:11, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Some numbers need to be put into the article. As it reads now, it might have been $20 or $2,000 a month.Kdammers (talk) 06:39, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Teenagers or children
The research states that 16 year olds were more likely to stay in education. Obscuring with the word teenagers implies that they could be adults - can we clear that up.

Unclear writing
Possibly the person who wrote the article was an academic used to jargon, but I find sentences like: "Indeed, the largest impact appeared to be changes in family composition not the experimental treatments, as preschool children increased the labour supply of husbands and reduced the labour supply of wives by roughly the same modest amount" to be incomprehensible. Did the minimum wage cause a change in family composition? How does the presence of preschool children increase the labour supply of husbands? Perhaps this section could be made more clear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.174.136.62 (talk) 00:35, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

"in the 70's"
Is too vague, isn't it? 2001:8A0:F6D0:AC00:287E:1E8D:F60A:9C32 (talk) 22:29, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
