Summary:
"The
social
determinants of health are the living and working conditions that shape whether we remain healthy or become ill. These
social
determinants of health are shaped by public
policy
made by Canadian governments. The last 20 years has seen public
policy
operating in such a way as to threaten health rather than support it. This is a reflection of the growing dominance of the corporate and business sector on Canadian life -growing income and wealth inequalities, precarious work and unstable employment and deteriorating working and living conditions for many Canadians. It is well documented that these conditions are the ones that lead to poor health as well as
social
disruption. This book aims to educate Canadians about these issues and provide means by which they are to be addressed. As such this book will serve as a wake-up call to Canadians that they need to pressure their elected representatives to create public
policy
that in the interest of the majority of the Canadians and not the well-of. As such this should lead to improved health and quality of life for Canadians and reverse recent public
policy
trends are working against health and quality of life."--Provided by publisher.
