Social Policy Research Paper Series

FaHCSIA's Social Policy Research Paper series superseded the previous Department of Social Security (DSS) Policy Research series, Policy Discussion series and Technical series.

Produced on an irregular basis, the series enables FaHCSIA to disseminate information, data and analysis that stem from major research projects and evaluations. The primary purpose of the research papers is to publish detailed project findings for public use.

All proposed contributions to the series are subject to a peer review process.

More information on additional copies and subscription to the FaHCSIA research publications are available online.
