Source: Census 2001, Public Use Microdata Files. Estimation of 2017 WAP from Statistics Canada (2005) and GDP in 2017 from Dungan and Murphy (2007)
Note: The share of population in each education group is from the Census PUMF, while the total working age population absolute number is from Statistics Canada (2005).
To find the number of aboriginals in each group, the proportion was multiplied by the total number, and then to find the number with positive income, it was again multiplied by
the ratio of persons with positive income to the total working age population for each educational group. The number of persons obtained in this way was then multiplied by average in
to obtain the aggregate income in each group. The total increase in income between 2001 and 2017 is multiplied by two to find the corresponding increase in GDP, assuming that
incomes represent about half of GDP.
