Description

"The purpose of this paper is to determine the relationships between vocational qualifications and indicators of community well-being in remote, mainly Indigenous communities of the Northern Territory. By determining the correlation co-efficient between the proportion of the adult population with certificate qualifications and the proportion of the population with other characteristics it may be possible to determine the extent to which in increase in one variable is related to an increase or decrease in another." - Introduction, Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).,
