Book excerpt: "With the availability of the 1991 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS), the present report attempted to demarcate subsamples of the 1991 population that were roughly comparable with those reporting Aboriginal origins in 1981. As the APS made available for the first time a question on Aboriginal self-identification -- it was the contention of the present report that this item allowed for the establishment of subsamples of the 1991 APS-based population roughly comparable with the 1981 Census numbers. The first part of this report introduced definitions of ethnicity as relied upon in the 1981 and 1991 Censuses -- along with the self-identity concept in the 1991 APS. The second section moved on to systematically consider whether reasonable time series are identifiable, with the Inuit, Métis, and North American Indian populations separately. The last section moves on to examine a series of selected census variables, including labour force participation, unemployment, individual income, occupation/industry, and highest level of schooling"--Executive summary, p. 3.

Download or read book Aboriginal Peoples in Canada written by James S. Frideres and published by Scarborough, Ont. : Prentice Hall Allyn and Bacon Canada. This book was released on 1998 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Novelists, academics, and politicians have been inspired for years to write about their observations of Aboriginal people. While most Canadians have few encounters with Aboriginal people, all of us will speak about their plight and place in Canadian society. Sometimes you will be in agreement, on other occasions you will differ. My goal in writing this book is to provide a critical interpretation of "the person on the street's" thinking about Aboriginal people in our society. Most textbooks are written from the point of view of the dominant majority. They generally advocate a universalistic view that reflects the dominant perspective. The material presented in the present book looks at ethnic relations from another position-that of the minority groups. Using an historical structural perspective, the material presented attempts to provide a macro theory of intergroup relations involving Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals."--Preface.
Download or read book Aboriginal Conditions written by Jerry P. White and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aimed at three main constituencies - Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal social scientists, government and Aboriginal policymakers, and Aboriginal communities - the book has multiple purposes. First, it presents findings from recent research, with the goal of advancing research agenda, and stimulating positive social development. Second, it encourages greater links between the social scientific and external research communities and demonstrates the kind of research needed as a foundation for public policy. Finally, it acts as a guide to research methods for Aboriginal communities and organizations, and promotes cooperation between researchers and Aboriginal peoples in an effort to ensure that research decisions serve both groups equally. A vital addition to public policy and Native studies, Aboriginal Conditions will be welcomed by social scientists, policymakers, and academics working in these fields.

Download or read book International Handbook of Rural Demography written by László J. Kulcsár and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third in an essential series of Springer handbooks that explore key aspects of the nexus between demography and social science. With an inclusive international perspective, and founded on the principles of social demography, this handbook shows how the rural population, which recently dropped below 50 per cent of the world total, remains a vital segment of society living in proximity to much-needed developmental and amenity resources. The rich diversity of rural areas shapes the capacity of resident communities to address far-reaching social, environmental and economic challenges. Some will survive, become sustainable and even thrive, while others will suffer rapid depopulation. This handbook demonstrates how these future development trajectories will vary according to local characteristics including, but not limited to, population composition. The growing complexity of rural society is in part a product of significant international variations in population trends, making this comparative and comprehensive study of rural demography all the more relevant. Collating the latest research on international rural demography, the handbook will be an invaluable aid to policy makers as they try to understand how demographic dynamics depend on the economic, social and environmental characteristics of rural areas. It will also aid researchers assessing the unique factors at play in the rural context and endeavoring to produce meaningful results that will advance policy and scholarship. Finally, the handbook is an ideal text for graduate students in a spread of disciplines from sociology to international development.
