The report finds that 14,500 Nova Scotian children would have been under the poverty line in 2020 if their families had not received CERB and CRB
A report has found that child poverty numbers in Nova Scotia dropped dramatically in 2020 – an improvement that researchers say was driven by pandemic financial assistance.
“It really tells us that significant investment makes a huge difference, and it can be done in a short time period,” Saulnier said in an interview. Of the more than $2 billion that Nova Scotians received in pandemic government assistance in 2020, 99 per cent came from Ottawa. Child poverty rates are highest among immigrant children in Nova Scotia at 32.6 per cent, compared to 15.9 per cent of children who are not immigrants. This rate is significantly higher than the national average for immigrant children, which is 18.8 per cent.
Feed Nova Scotia, which oversees food banks across the province, has said that in 2022 more than people ever relied on their food support services.
