Canadian WWII Veterans Charter as Foundation of Modern Canadian Welfare State

Summary/Abstract: Security and prosperity are regarded as the cornerstones of Canadian society, where the government plays a vital role in establishing the universal social security system, earning the country the designation of a welfare state. The current model has its origins in World War II, particularly with the introduction of a comprehensive program for veteran re-establishment—known as the Veterans Charter. The aim of this paper is to explore the solutions that formed the foundation of the Canadian WWII Veterans Charter and the subsequent impact they had on the development of the welfare state in Canada.
