Description

Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT)., "This paper examines 1996 and 2001 Census data to establish recent changes in Indigenous and non Indigenous employment and income status in the Northern Territory. Also explored are some of the constraints and opportunities facing Indigenous people in their effort to increase their share of Territory income and raise their levels of participation in the labour market. The paper builds on previous analyses of Indigenous employment and income indicators for the Northern Territory, providing a window on recent trends in relative economic status." - Abstract,
