Ce qui fonctionne — Canada

Canada has implemented several major policy and programmatic initiatives to address labour force participation, digital access, and workplace equity. The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care System ($10-a-Day Child Care) reduced child-care spending from ~16% to 5% of after-tax family income and correlates with maternal labour-force participation reaching 79.6% in 2023, with an estimated 29,000 additional mothers in employment. The Digital Literacy Exchange Program (DLEP) reached 650,000+ Canadians from underserved groups through CAD $47.1M in federal funding between 2018–2025. The K-Net — First Nations-Owned Broadband and Telehealth Network expanded community-owned broadband and telehealth to 100+ First Nations communities since 1994, though the practices note that hundreds of First Nations communities still lack adequate broadband. These initiatives demonstrate investments in family support, digital equity, and Indigenous infrastructure, though implementation gaps remain in some areas.
