Book Description: Established in response to the Great Depression, the goal of Canada's system of unemployment insurance was to ensure the protection of income to the unemployed. Joblessness was viewed as a social problem and the jobless as its unfortunate victims. While unemployment insurance expanded over several decades, the mid 1970s saw the first stirrings of a counterattack. Neo liberalists denounced unemployment insurance and other aspects of the welfare state as inflationary and unproductive. This regressive movement culminated in a major policy shift in the 1990s. The number of unemployed with access to benefits was halved during that time. 'From UI to EI' examines Canada's unemployment insurance system and the rights it grants to the unemployed. The development of the system, its legislation, and related jurisprudence are viewed through a historical perspective that accounts for the social, political, and economic context. This book examines the system with emphasis upon its recent transformations, and will interest professors and students of law, political science, and social work, and anyone concerned about the right of the unemployed to adequate protection.
