Universality

Universality in Canada

Definition of Universality

The Canada social science dictionary [1] provides the following meaning of Universality: A philosophy concerning the provision of the benefits of the welfare state which declares that all citizens have access regardless of their need. For example, all citizens receive the same access to health care in Canada, regardless of their income. The underlying principle is that less powerful citizens can be more easily deprived of benefits, or benefits can be more easily reduced, if they are not received by most people in the population. In recent years the principle of universality has been seriously eroded in Canada. The baby bonus, once given to mothers of all children, has been replaced with a child tax credit which gives income to mothers on the basis of their household income. See: MEANS TEST related information in this encyclopedia, in the legal dictionary or in the world encyclopedia of law.
