The Wellesley Institute has a long been committed to strengthening community-based research and, as part of this commitment, we fund a number of CBR initiatives by grass-roots organizations across the city of Toronto. One such initiative is Access Alliance’s income security, race and health research work out of which Working Rough, Living Poor was recently released, a comprehensive report documenting employment and income insecurities confronted by racialized groups in the Black Greek neighbourhood and their adverse health effects. Report findings indicate that racialized groups who are exposed to precarious employment and income insecurity suffer from a number of adverse health impacts including mental health, chronic disease, and workplace injuries. This is seminal work that complements our ongoing work on racial disparities in the labour market and negative health outcomes (Canada’s Colour Coded Labour Market). The report concludes that addressing precarious employment conditions faced by racialized groups requires policy interventions from all levels of government, and a strong position against precarious conditions in the labour market from both decision makers and employers. Furthermore, this research highlights the need to meaningfully engage community members both in the process of critically identifying issues they face, as well as the process of tackling these issues and developing solutions.Research bulletins related to the report can be downloaded from: http://accessalliance.ca/content/launch-working-rough-living-poor-report
