Recent Commonwealth Treasury intergenerational reports have failed to consider the very different challenges that arise for the Indigenous population as a consequence of demographic ageing

Policy development in Indigenous affairs often proceeds with dated estimates of population and with little understanding of the likely impact of changing demographic parameters on future Indigenous population size and composition

This paper models the national and regional population impacts of a continuation of existing mortality and fertility regimes compared to a situation where these converge

This paper examines the extent to which Indigenous Australians have shared in the large expansion of the Australian workforce that is revealed by a comparison of 2001 and 2006 census results

This paper focuses on recent change in the fortunes of Indigenous people in the labour market and analyses these alongside changes in other population, social and economic outcomes

This paper addresses the 2006 census net undercount of remote Indigenous settlements by modelling the contribution of net migration to small area population change

This paper examines a set of supply-side issues that undermine successful Indigenous participation in the West Kimberley resource boom

Illuminating some of the gaps in social and economic participation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians due, in part, to geography, this paper presents the preliminary findings of a regional analysis of recent change in Indigenous population and social indicators between 2001 and 2006

There is a compelling need for fresh perspective on the policy implications of Indigenous demographic trends

John Taylor outlines current Australian social indicator frameworks, including issues of statistical accountability and the politics of statistics
