When the bloody battles and searing strife of World War Two were over, the men would “come marching home again.” But what would the economics of the country be? The government of Canada worried about an economic depression taking hold, and wartime wage freezes were still in effect. On returning to home soil, the average man’s income would be enough to support himself but perhaps not be enough to take care of his family. An investigation on poverty and finances was instituted and the result culminated in the Marsh Report of 1943.

Mackenzie King Chose Family Allowance

Examining the social conditions in Canada, the Marsh Report recommended three programs: social insurance supported by universal Family Allowances, a national health system and a large-scale national employment program,” said Dennis Guest in the “Family Allowance” entry of the Canadian Encyclopedia. Prime Minister of the time, Mackenzie King, decided the recommendations were much too broad for the budget and government to handle. He chose to establish one segment of the Marsh Report, the Family Allowance. Along with looking good to voters in the next election, “a program of Family Allowances was well within the spending powers of the federal government, so few provincial hackles were raised.”
