Funded Activity Summary

An Integrated Analysis of the Social Context of Indigenous Poverty. The project will identify the processes that improve Indigenous participation in social and economic life of the nation-an important pre-condition for a lasting reconciliation between indigenous and other Australians. The new poverty benchmarks developed will provide evidence about the adequacy of income support payments with associated implications for child welfare. Given that Indigenous people are a substantial and increasing proportion of remote Australia, improvements in their income and welfare would have significant multipliers for regional economies. Also, the national debate on these issues will be augmented by scholarly articles and a readable book providing an integrated analysis of the social context of Indigenous poverty.
