} Builds on and rounds out a comprehensive package
produced by NCRP and UWTYR: ◦ A backgrounder to help readers interpret research and
media commentary on income inequality and polarization (Dinca-Panaitescu and Walks, 2015) ◦ A comprehensive review of key factors contributing to the
growth of income inequality in Canada (Procyk, 2014) ◦ A comprehensive portrait of income inequality and
polarization in Canada’s largest Census Metropolitan Areas from 1971 through 2006 (Walks, 2013) ◦ A report on the impact of growing income inequality on
access to opportunity in the City of Toronto (UWTYR, 2015)

} Income inequality describes how evenly or unevenly income is distributed. It exists when one group receives income that is disproportionate to its size. In other words, income inequality is a snapshot of who gets how much compared to others.

} Income polarization describes a process in which income concentrates into two separate poles or groups, one rich and another poor.
} Rising polarization is associated with claims about
the ‘disappearing middle class’.
