(From BC Early Years Community Developers):

There is a silent generational crisis occurring in homes across Canada.  The Generation raising young kids today struggles with less time, stagnant household incomes, and skyrocketing housing costs compared to the 1970s.  Paul Kershaw’s website examines the decline in the standard of living, and proposes a practical solution – A New Deal for Families.  Many of you will be familiar with Paul’s work through the Human Early Learning Partnership at UBC.  In developing this vision, Paul has worked most closely with Lynell Anderson, who is a Senior Researcher at the Human Early Learning Partnership.  The vision underpinning a Canada that Works for All Generations reflects years of productive conversations with HELP colleagues.
