Canada's Aboriginal Population, 1981-1991 by Donald W. Kerr,Jean Pierre Bourdeau,Andrew J. Siggner,Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation,Canada. Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples,Statistics Canada. Housing, Family and Social Statistics Division Pdf
This study explores the changes over 1981-91 in selected socio-economic characteristics of Canada's Aboriginal population. Data presented for the Aboriginal population distinguish among four main sub-groups: registered Indians, non-status Indians, Metis, and Inuit. The study focuses on two main objectives: whether the concepts of Aboriginality associated with the 1981 Census and the 1991 Aboriginal Peoples Survey are sufficiently comparable to support analysis of temporal changes in the socio-economic characteristics of Canada's Aboriginal population; and to identify the nature of those changes over 1981-91 and compare these changes to those characterizing the non- Aboriginal population. The socio-economic characteristics selected for study include unemployment rates, labour force participation, employment by occupation and industry group, individual income, and highest educational level attained.
