Back in the past, if someone was living in poverty, they would not have people, or organizations to help them. For example, back then if they didn't have a job, food, clothes, or shelter, they would literally be sleeping on the streets. Where as now, if someone was living in poverty, there might actually be a chance that a organization, like the World Bank, might be helping out in developing countries. Sure they might not be helping all countries, but they are helping some parts in the world.

in the 1700, there were only about 700,000 immigrants living in canada.and in that time canada was just growing.in the 1700, there were no communities to help new immigrants. the new immigrants had to work on farms but they hardly get paid any money. now lets move to the 1800 and the 1900, at that time there were factories and when new immigrants found out the factories were crowded but there wasn't enough jobs for everybody. if you worked at a factory you would only get paid less than $ 2 dollars a day now lets move on to 2008 and 2009, in those years the economy raised and got more than 30,00 dollars a day. but some people still had problems making money. in 2015 things started to change a bit more. more people had less problems making money. but there were still people out there having trouble making money and we can help!!!!

in 1800 years people have to pay taxes. in city, they have to pay more taxes than farm. so Canada has LICO to do. so some absolute poverty people choose to live in farm those people is homeless people,they live in farm to grow foods, so they can live in there. in 2015, people have to pay more taxes some relative poverty live in farm, and some not really poverty people live in city.

In the past there weren't "special" organizations, special programs or education to help poverty problems before. Now at the preasant time these 3 things help poverty and hopefully help them enough to get them out of poverty.

In the past people was in poverty ,because diseases and wars. Now in Canada it's basically no jobs for people. Compare to the past, poverty is easier to solve , because we have world bank that will help countries that were developing .

In the past years, poverty in Canada first started off by not many people.Then the goverment of Canada asked people to come to Canada willing to give them free farms and may more.Over 800 000 people came to canada thinking that they will have an easier and better life livng in canada then the canadians dicides to get jobs,like working in the factory.The thing is that people who worked in the factory didnt get much of money to always afford to buy food,pay rent or pay bills in the exact time.So they were basically in relative poverty.Now these days things got better, u get money fairly and get jobs at the same time,but young people still dont find it that easy to get a job because some jobs might be too dangerouse for them, or their to young for the jobs.

Back in the 1800s the common necessities were cheaper than it is today so it was probably easier to avoid living in absolute poverty. Although today, necessities are in general more expensive AND we need to pay taxes so it's harder to afford all the things you need. Also, back in the 1800s there wee more rural areas so the LICO was lower, so avoiding ability poverty was easier.

In the past people with poverty sleep on the streets , hard to find things , and have no where to go . This time in our year people can go to a homeless shelter , harder to get money ,and easier to find thing. In the past things was much cheaper because there was not much invented and in our time it's more expensive because people invent much more things that are expensive with internet and can help you , like tablets , tv , cars , and others

before in the 1800 there was no LICO, or any groups that would do anything about poverty. In the 1800s buying clothes,food,and water were probably cheaper. But now it's more expensive and there are now taxes to pay.

Poverty in Canada in around the 1800s is much more harder to face than nowadays because of the severe weather that people living in poverty had to face. Sometimes people can die if they catch the flu and don't get better. In the past, camps and organizations weren't created, so the people living in absolute poverty didn't have a lot of help like nowadays. In the past, there was also less urban areas, so many people lived in farmlands and that meant that a lot of people couldn't find much food, so they would have to hunt for food. They might also turn into criminals and steal food. But things were cheaper because there wasn't that much taxes or fancy technology.

Poverty is people with no selter no food no cloths, but you can also be in poverty by not being able to afford food,rent,cloths and other needs.The continents that are effected by poverty is South Asia,East Asia and apart of Africa,but Canada and the USA have little bit of people living in poverty.

Poverty in the 1800's was much worse then the poverty in 2016, cause of bad weather and back then there wasn't the technology right now like hot water and more.Back then more people were living in poverty then now (harsh conditions like bad weather and less people earning money, less people owning stores). People had to hunt with food with old supplies rather then going to the supermarket or begging for food.

Poverty in Canada all started when over 800 000 people came here in Canada. Because of that poverty started because of over population. As the time pass by the problem about poverty goes wider. Before, no organizations are helping the people under poverty but they received social welfare assistance, it is where the government helps the people to pay for food, housing and more. Now Canada is recovering. There is an organization called World Bank, it helps other countries about their financial problem. Statistics Canada developed Law Income Cut Off (LICO). It helps people to make more money goes to pay basic needs than other things.

I think poverty was much worse before compared to now in many different ways.One reason is because back then food and materials were already really hard to obtain.Luckily poverty has shrunk a lot but it's still very ongoing.

in the past, people lived in poverty, they didn't had food and safe place to live. They didn't had enough money to buy house and food. Today Canada developed Law Income Cut Off (LICO). Its helps people to make more money because now everything's expensive and we have pay for taxes.

Back then people who were going through poverty they would not to be allowed in the country. I mean back in the 1800s people would come here in Canada because they were going through poverty. Now people still go through poverty but something a little difrent they would not go to another country they are to difrent types of poverty now one were you need the obvious stuff and where you do have the obvious we just can't afford rent.

poverty in Canada in 1800 vs 2016 was the same in some elements and some completely different, but back then, absolute poverty was a big issue, no one had a shelter, no one had food, well people with absolute poverty but you get the point. in 2016, absolute poverty wasn't like overflowing one country, there still is absolute poverty but not like 1,000,000, people in one country in fact, relative poverty is is sort of like a blackout, no power in your house kind of like you can't pay the bills for your house, not having a lot of food in your fridge and son run out, like finally find some cheap food and soon in around 3 days, its gone,its pretty similar. But as long as you find a place to eat that's cheap and your phone is still alive while in the blackout you can survive for awhile.

Poverty in Canada in past was way hard to live compare to now, but in the past people were living in painful life. They couldn't get jobs easily like rught now, especially young people, they wanted full time job and well paying job. So young people were even hard to get a job. There are still people living in poverty.

In the 1800s they didn't have taps and electricity and it was hard to get those kind of things and when you are trying to get out of poverty you have to do it alone, so it was hard to get back on your feet. Now we have organizations like LICO which help you when you live below the low income cutoff ($1.25)
