CDEP as Urban Enterprise: Yarnteen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Corporation, Newcastle
Issue Brief 4 / 1996
At June 1996, the Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) scheme had 28,041 participants from 276 Indigenous communities. Its annual budget was $321.8 million. Urban communities continue to join the scheme. In March 1996, 28 per cent of participants were located in rural and urban areas. Fourteen per cent resided in New South Wales and Victoria, compared to 24 per cent in the Northern Territory.
Indigenous Australians and the socioeconomic status of urban neighbourhoods
Issue Brief 6 / 1996
A comparison of the 1976 and 1991 Census data shows that an increasing proportion of Indigenous people are living in the low socioeconomic status or relatively poor neighbourhoods within Australian cities, while the number of Indigenous people living in more wealthy urban areas is in decline (Figure 1).
Further policy implications of rising Aboriginal fertility in the 1990s
Discussion Paper 103 / 1996
Abstract:
Previous Aboriginal fertility studies based on comprehensive analyses of the 1986 and earlier Australian censuses found a trend of a substantial fertility decline in the 1970s and early 1980s, which led to the conclusion that the decline would continue. However, the results of two recent studies, based on the 1991 Census, contradicted the continuation of Aboriginal fertility decline.
Change in the relative occupational status of Indigenous workers, 1986-1991
Discussion Paper 104 / 1996
Abstract:
This paper considers whether Indigenous employment strategies implemented over the latter half of the 1980s and early 1990s coincided with an improvement in occupational status for Indigenous workers and a movement towards greater similarity with the occupational profile of the general population. Using detailed occupation data from the 1986 and 1991 Censuses, change in the relative distribution of Indigenous employment is analysed by sex and section-of-State.
Reforming financial aspects of the Native Title Act 1993: An economics perspective
Discussion Paper 105 / 1996
Abstract:
This paper was delivered at a conference, 'Doing Business with Aboriginal Communities', organised by AIC Conferences and held at the Beaufort Hotel, Darwin during the week before the March 1996 federal election. The session in which the paper was presented was about effective negotiation between Indigenous groups and industry, inside and outside the Native Title Act framework. The paper identifies elements of the legislative framework that arguably result in suboptimal outcomes for both Indigenous parties and industry.
Indigenous Australians and the socioeconomic status of urban neighbourhoods
Discussion Paper 106 / 1996
Abstract:
This discussion paper presents an analysis of where Indigenous people live in Australian cities. The paper is motivated by the possible impact of the recent increases in the number of distressed urban areas on the Indigenous population. The urban Indigenous population are found to be concentrated in the low socioeconomic urban neighbourhoods which have borne the brunt of economic structural change in the past 20 years.
The comparative economic status of CDEP and non-CDEP community residents in the Northern Territory in 1991
Discussion Paper 107 / 1996
Abstract:
The Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) scheme is a program where participants forego social security entitlements and work for rough equivalents of these entitlements. The scheme has expanded rapidly over the past decade and now operates in 250 Indigenous communities. While the scheme has multiple objectives, it is arguably primarily a labour market program.
Indigenous participation in labour market and training programs
Discussion Paper 108 / 1996
Abstract:
Despite the fact that large numbers of Indigenous people participate in labour market and training programs each year, little information has hitherto been publicly available regarding their characteristics and the nature of program involvement.
The economic status of Indigenous Australian households: a statistical and ethnographic analysis
Discussion Paper 109 / 1996
Abstract:
This paper presents an overview of the contemporary economic status of Indigenous households relative to other Australian households, based on an analysis of 1991 Census data and a review of ethnographic case study evidence. The analysis is expanded by a brief consideration of information on households from the 1994 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Survey.
Income poverty among Indigenous families with children: estimates from the 1991 Census
Discussion Paper 110 / 1996
Abstract:
This paper brings together information from the 1991 Census of Population and Housing and the 1990 Income and Housing Costs and Amenities Survey to estimate poverty rates for Indigenous families and non-Indigenous families at the time of the 1991 Census and to compare them with estimates from the 1986 Census. It also describes the factors associated with income poverty among Indigenous families.
