With the deduction of social transfers (except old-age and survivors’ benefits) from disposable income, absolute poverty rate would increase to 15.1 per cent in 2019. Social transfers had the largest impact on the absolute poverty rate of households composed of two adults with three or more children: social transfers deducted, the absolute poverty rate in such households in 2019 would increase from 8.9 to 34.7 per cent.
