Notes:
Scenario 1: Projections for the Aboriginal labour assume that the participation rate of Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals remain
constant.
Scenario 2: Projections for the Aboriginal labour force assume that the participation rate of the non-Aboriginal population does not
change from the 2001 rate and the Aboriginal participation level for 2017 reaches the midpoint between the Aboriginal and the non-
Aboriginal participation rates for 2001.
Scenario 3: Projections for the Aboriginal labour force assume that the Aboriginal participation rate achieves parity with the non-
Aboriginal employment rate by 2017 .
Scenario 4: Projections assume that the Aboriginals attain the participation rate of the general population projected in Dungan and
Murphy for 2017 (65.6 per cent).
