And parents are forced to make impossible choices between delaying their return to work or paying huge amounts for the child care they need. The pressure that parents feel today is the result of inaction by Liberal and Conservative governments. The result is a broken system with child care costs that are among the highest in the world, and enormous worry in the lives of Canadian families. Failing to invest in child care also keeps women out of the workforce, which will be a huge barrier to economic recovery after the COVID pandemic is over.
Our vision is to give families relief. Every parent across Canada should be able to find affordable child care you need, when you need it, with a licensed provider making a fair wage. Public early childhood education and child care that is affordable and available to all families is critical to our economic recovery, and gives parents real choices. In the absence of federal leadership, provinces have stepped up to take strides towards affordable, accessible, quality child care — Quebec continues to be a leader, and the New Democrat government in British Columbia has shown that investments in child care make a real difference in the lives of children, women, and families.
We will take immediate action to save not-for-profit child care centres that are at risk of closure with relief fund to re-open spaces that were lost during COVID Canadian families deserve no less.
When a crisis hits, working families need to be able to count on our Employment Insurance EI system to be there for them. Although all workers pay into EI, even in normal times less than 40 percent qualify for benefits when they need them. The Conservatives brought in mean-spirited changes to EI that hurt workers, families and communities — and the Liberals have tinkered at the edges, rather than improving the system for all.
Particularly in the midst of a global health crisis, New Democrats know that there are circumstances where people leave a job voluntarily but still need support. This flexibility will help support those who want to continue to work while providing the seriously ill with the benefits they need. New Democrats also understand that seasonal workers face particular challenges accessing EI. Parental leave should be available for all Canadian families, in the way that works best for them.
Eighteen months of leave is an attractive option for many parents, but not many Canadians can afford to live on just 33 percent of their salary. New Democrats will bring in a new special leave that allows parents to take shorter parental leave at a higher replacement rate.
Premiums, which are currently at a historic low, will be frozen until the economy recovers. Liberals and Conservatives like to say they support workers, but when push comes to shove, they always take the side of big corporations. This has never been more true than during the COVID pandemic, when they failed to support universal sick leave and minimum wage policies, putting the most vulnerable workers and their families at risk. New Democrats know that the federal government has an important role to play in making work better, fairer and more secure for everyone.
We can do so much better to protect the health, safety and rights of all workers in Canada. We will defend the Rand formula, so that unions can effectively advocate for workers, and we will continue to oppose heavy-handed legislation that suspends the rights to bargain and to strike. New Democrats will make sure that workers and employers can take action together to improve health and safety, eliminating unsafe working conditions and ensuring that whistleblowers are protected.
We urgently need to do more to make sure that people can access paid sick leave when they need to take time off from work due to illness. New Democrats will work with the provinces to update federal standards and bring in a permanent safety net of paid sick leave across the country, and to close the gap until every worker has access to paid sick days, we will fix the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit and keep it going until all Canadians have access to paid sick days. Scabs prolong strikes and give the employer little incentive to reach a fair deal.
New Democrats would prioritize anti-scab legislation that will ban the use of replacement workers in labour disputes — for good. For too long, the Liberal and Conservative governments refused to take action on low wages.
Not only will this help hundreds of thousands of workers; it will also set a national standard for a fair, living wage.
Right now, without access to benefits like extended health coverage and dental care, temporary workers earn roughly 75 per cent of what permanent employees do — a divide that hits the most vulnerable and precarious workers hardest, and gives employers an incentive to limit the number of full-time positions they offer. The rampant use of unpaid internships exposes young workers to abuse. The Liberals promised to end unfair unpaid internships, but nothing has been done.
A New Democrat government will immediately ban unpaid internships outside of education programs. Finally, public servants make incredible contributions to our country — and they deserve a government, and an employer, that treats them with respect.
New Democrats will replace the failed Phoenix pay system brought in by the Conservative and Liberal governments. We will also work to reduce the inefficient and costly practice of contracting out government work, which has only grown under the Liberal government, and we will take action to put an end to harassment in the federal workplace.
These developments could lead to economic growth and prosperity, but only if we make sure that workers share in the gains that will come from these changes. But instead of broadening opportunity for everyone, the Liberal government made the disappointing decision to exclude unemployed and precariously employed Canadians — people who need support the most — from the opportunity to get paid training. New Democrats know that we can do better for all workers.
Finally, to make sure that businesses are investing in the training that Canadians need, a New Democrat government will require large employers to spend at least 1 percent of payroll on training for their employees annually.
This fund will be provincially directed, with dedicated support for marginalized workers, those in transitioning sectors and for efforts to improve literacy and essential skills. Small businesses are one of the engines of job creation in Canada, and an important part of every community across the country.
Local shops keep our communities running, and they need our support now more than ever. Small businesses need a government that helps them access the services and infrastructure they need to recover, thrive and expand, while investing in a healthy and talented workforce.
New Democrats believe that small businesses should have access to all the support they need to get through this crisis, grow, innovate and stay competitive in Canada and around the world. New Democrats will keep working hard for small businesses to tackle issues that impact their bottom line. To help Canadian small business step out on the world stage, a New Democrat government will streamline access to government export services and make it simpler to break into foreign markets.
Canadians know that trade is essential for our economic success — but they expect that trade deals will be fair, respect human rights, protect the environment, and put the interests of Canadian workers and communities first.
Unfortunately, under Liberal and Conservative governments, trade negotiations have too often hurt Canadian industries — and cost us jobs. New Democrats support fair trade that broadens opportunity in all areas of the country, while protecting our industries and upholding labour standards, environmental protections and human rights around the world.
Already, New Democrats have won changes that require the government to notify Canadians before trade negotiations begin, make them put forward clear negotiating objectives in advance, and do a full economic impact assessment of every deal. A New Democrat government will directly engage with Canadians on the expected costs and benefits of potential trade deals, as well as ensure that all trade agreements are consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
We will evaluate all potential trade deals for their social, environmental and gendered impact on Canadians. Trade agreements should have enforceable labour, human rights and environmental protections — and New Democrats will always protect Canadians against measures that could increase the cost of pharmaceuticals, weaken our cultural protections, or undermine privacy rights.
We will also protect Canadian businesses who are taking action to transition to a low-carbon future with a border carbon adjustment that will level the playing field on imports from areas without a carbon price.
A New Democrat government will also do more to defend Canadian workers and communities from unfair trading practices. From steel mills and auto plants to farms and high-tech companies, and everything in between, Canadian industries power our economy and sustain the jobs that families across the country rely on.
But for too long, Liberal and Conservative governments have ignored the need to support Canadian industry, trading away advantages in trade deals and failing to invest in the targeted support that our industries need to thrive. As the global economy slowly bounces back from the pandemic, we have a critical opportunity. Develop and improve products.

The higher the GDP per capita for a country the better off the country is. But there are some problems with using GDP per capita to measure a country's standard of living.
Legal economic activity may also be part of the "underground," usually in an effort to avoid taxation. GDP does not account for a possible future decline in output due to resource depletion.
Noneconomic Sources of Well-Being like courtesy, crime reduction, etc. We must use per capita GDP to compare the living standards of different countries. We've been using the AS - AD model to understand the macroeconomy.
Nominal GDP is calculated using the current prices prevailing when the output was produced but real GDP is a figure that has been adjusted for price level changes. Therefore, if nominal GDP increases is it because we are producing more Q this year or is it because the Price Level increased P this year?
IF prices increased a lot, nominal GDP would increase even if the quantity produced went down. So if we know that nominal GDP has increased, we still do not know if we are producing more and reducing scarcity or if the price level has just increased.
Real GDP is a measure of how much was actually produced. Since we always use the same base year prices if the quantity produced increases it will increase real GDP. By using the same price level base year prices we remove the effects of a higher price level inflation and if REAL GDP increases we know that the economy is producing more and scarcity is being reduced. To measure the price level we use a price index. A price index is a measure of the price level as a percent of the price level in a BASE year.
As you have read, to calculate a price index a year is selected as a base year. The average level of prices for that year is assigned a value of Then the price levels for all other years are calculated as a percent of the base year.
The following data show nominal GDP and the appropriate price index for several years. Compute real GDP for each year. In which year s was there a recession decline in real GDP?.
