Note:
* Working Age Population is the population of Canada 15 years and over, the population projection for
the general population is based on Scenario 3, the population projection for North American Indians is
based on Scenario B
Assumption 1: The participation rate of North American Indians in Canada is 57 per cent in 2001.
Projections for the North American Indian labour force assume that the participation rate of the non-
Aboriginal population does not change from the 2001 rate of 66.6 per cent and that the North American
Indian participation rate achieves parity with the employment rate of the general population by 2017.
Assumption 2: Projections for the North American Indian labour force assume that the participation rate
of the non-Aboriginal population does not change from the 2001 rate of 66.6 per cent and the North
American Indian participation level for 2017 reaches the midpoint (61.8 per cent) between the
participation rates of the North American Indians (57 per cent) and the non-Aboriginal population (66.6
Assumption 3: Projections for the North American Indian labour force assume that the participation rate
of North American Indians (57 per cent in 2001) and the non-Aboriginal population (66.6 per cent in
