Key strategies for organising workers engaged in non-standard employment
Increasing rates of non-standard employment have led to increases in workers lacking union representation and avenues for collective bargaining. Workers engaged in non-standard employment may benefit from worker-led approaches to advocate for fair working conditions. This study aimed to understand factors that impact the success of worker-led movements to improve working conditions and/or advocate for workers’ rights through a multi-case study an…
Effects of extreme air pollution and El Niño Southern Oscillation on insufficient sleep
Long-term (i.e. annual) effects of air pollution can pose a risk on adult sleep. While El Niño and La Niña phases were found to be a significant effect modifier, yet during the neutral phase the risks for extreme PM 2.5 were observed to be the strongest on insufficient sleep. Further investigations are needed to recognize the environmental effects on sleep deprivation

Lagging behind in suburbia
Suburbanization is reshaping the context of immigrant settlement in Canada. Newcomer immigrants are increasingly settling initially in suburban communities as opposed to traditional receiving neighborhoods in urban centers. However, the quality of settlement services for newcomers to suburban neighborhoods has lagged behind, creating a mismatch between newcomer settlement patterns and service provision. As settlement patterns are recognized as si…

Evening the keel
This article argues that misalignment between the realities of work in the new economy and the regulations is having negative health and social implications at all levels of Canadian society. Remedying this requires drastic reshaping of policy approaches, but current laws and employment norms presume the labour market is a static entity. Policymakers should focus on improving how labour market data is collected for producing evidence‐based recomm…

Mobilising for safer care
Programs and reforms to prevent healthcare-associated infections encounter structural barriers that affect their adoption and effective implementation. This article is based on interviews with 55 frontline healthcare providers, infection control and quality experts, and policymakers from 2010–2013 primarily in Vancouver, Canada. This article reports the perceptions of participants regarding the consequences that structural barriers, including phy…

The Cuban paladar
The findings of a qualitative, in-depth exploration of Havana's rapidly expanding private sector, reveal that paladares – privately owned Cuban restaurants – are not, as previously suggested, antithetical to Havana's political status quo. Instead the negotiation between the state in, and toleration of, private enterprise in Havana has become the foundation for a host of double standards and informal regulations that manifest themselves in two dis…
Local approaches to counter a wider pattern? Urban poverty in Portland, Oregon
A model U.S. city, Portland Oregon's progressive policies are often credited with making it highly livable, with a vibrant urban core. Yet these policies have not protected Portland from broader trends that have increased urban poverty over the past several decades in the U.S., including social welfare cuts and the shift in the economy to the service sector. In terms of poverty dynamics and social policies, we argue that while regional planning a…

The role of health insurance in explaining immigrant versus non-immigrant disparities in access to health care
Transfers Matter Most
From 1974 to 1994, Canada and the United States experienced quite substantial divergences in relative household poverty rates and inequality levels from similar starting points.Although several scholars have attempted to explain Canadian and U.S. differences in poverty and inequality levels at one point in time, none have satisfactorily explained the causes of these divergent trends. Utilizing high quality, comparable data from the Luxembourg Inc…
