This book investigates the structural causes of rising poverty in Canada and the systemic barriers that prevent marginalized groups from participating in wealth creation. Author Raghubar Sharma examines the impact of globalization on the Canadian labor market, arguing that the polarization of employment opportunities into high-skill and low-skill sectors exacerbates income inequality. By analyzing the intersection of economic shifts and social exclusion, the text provides a framework for understanding why specific demographics remain trapped in cycles of poverty despite national prosperity.

Experts and educators often utilize this text as a foundational resource for understanding the socioeconomic dynamics of contemporary Canada. Readers frequently note the clarity with which the author connects broad economic theories to the lived realities of marginalized citizens.
