With the issues already stated, about the raise of tuition rates, and the lack of job opportunity, this really opens up the doors for children on social assistance, also known as welfare. From 1994, to present day, the welfare cases have dropped tremendously in numbers. Also the number of children on welfare has dropped from 1994 to recent times, from 145,000, to 72,000 applicants. A very important reason for this downfall in statistics has been the amount of new job opportunities the economy has opened up, both part-time, and full-time. Even with the increase of job opportunities, and the downfall of caseloads, most of the poor people leaving welfare for jobs, are often taking low paying, and unstable jobs. Yet still, even though many caseloads are dropping, it isn't changing child poverty rates. Minimum wage, has also been a problem over the years, and is linked with the welfare problems. Welfare and minimum wage are set so that people do not fall, but many people are falling due to inflation in the economy. These issues need to be addressed so that the inflation can be compensated for so that people will not fall, because these issues are contributing to the increased poverty rates.
