Indigenous populations

The Indigenous Populations of Australia In recent years, there has been an apparent growth of the Indigenous population of Australia driven, in part, by an increasing willingness on the part of many Australians to acknowledge/assert their Aboriginality (ABS, 2003). As at 30 June 2001, the Aboriginal

within a society will be distributed equally among all populations. If social justice is met all members of a society would be entitled to the same rights and have access to the same quality services. However, if we think back on the history of the United States and on the world in general, we can easily understand that social justice has not been fulfilled in many societies. Take the Indigenous Australian population and the African-American population residing in the United States for example. There were

Introduction The Indigenous population of Canada is filled with rich history, culture, and people. The term First Nations is an expansive term actively used to describe more than 600 Aboriginals groups living across Canada. The Canadian Constitution identifies three groups of the Aboriginal people: First Nations, Inuit, and Metis. Each of these divergent groups hold an exceptional history, language, cultural and spiritual beliefs. Once settlement began it imprinted the Indigenous population history with

Introduction to the Indigenous Population in Guatemala To the developed world, Guatemala may just seem like another poor undeveloped Latin American country, in part with its indigenous community to blame. Yet surprisingly, areas like Antigua Guatemala are “one of the places where the wealthy from all over the world come to live and to vacation and to buy homes” (Little 24). Today, the population of indigenous individuals is still a substantial “forty percent” but the remaining “sixty percent are

with the Indigenous population, where we have shown undeniable amounts of discrimination towards them, a past full of neglect, hate, abuse and humiliation. Even the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau declared that “Canada is no land of wonders” (Jazeera, 2017). To this day Canadian society is still oppressing the Indigenous population as they face higher levels of poverty than any other population in Canada. Inequalities and prejudices occur every day towards the Indigenous population within

Health Disparities in Indigenous Populations Around the globe in countries from Australia and New Zealand to South American and North America there is a disparity in the quality of healthcare and life that indigenous people receive compared to their non-indigenous counterparts (Ring & Brown, 2003). Life expectancy for Aboriginals, the indigenous people of Australia is 19-21 years less than non-indigenous life expectancy; 5-7 years for the Maori population in New Zealand; and 5-7 years less for

The indigenous people of Australia, mainly Aboriginals and the Torres Strait Islanders typically die at younger ages and develop disability or reduced quality of life more often than the other mainstream Australian population. One important factor in the well-being of these indigenous populations is the access to mainstream health care systems in place. There is a wide health gap between indigenous and non-indigenous populations in Australia which is of a growing concern for the Australian Government

make 31% of Canada’s total population making them the largest population in Canada (Jeffries, 2014). In the past year the indigenous population in correction facilities has increased by more than 50% (Office of the correctional investigator, 2016). Amazingly “ Aboriginal Canadians are imprisoned at a rate of 756 per 100,000, nearly 10 time the non- Aboriginal rate of 76 per 100,000”( Jeffries, p. 450, 2014). There is a verity of reasons as to why the indigenous population has had such a drastic increase

again the complex relationship between Indigenous Australian young people [IAYP] and structural inequality leading to disadvantage on every social scale compared to non-Indigenous population. This paper aims to explore the role of structural inequality in societal institutions like the justice system, education and employment. For the purpose of this paper, Indigenous peoples of Australia will be inclusive of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. Social indicators affecting IAYP are
