An important feature of this collection is the consideration of providers and recipients. Such wide-ranging outlooks are possible given the diverse backgrounds of contributors, which include historians, sociologists, social workers, public policy experts and political scientists. As well as historical and sociological studies, topics include key programs (discussed in detail), the quality of services received by principal target groups, new directions in research; some contributions even revisit foundational older works and key government documents. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI: Beginnings \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 \u003cbr\u003e  Saving for a Rainy Day: Social Security in Late Nineteenth-Century and Early Twentieth-Century Canada \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cspan style='\"font-style:' italic\u003eDennis T.
