This methodology is applied for each of ten different scenarios which differ based on
assumptions related to the shares of the population in each educational category (educational
profile), the average employment income of Aboriginal Canadians in each educational category,
and the employment rates of the Aboriginal population in each educational category. These
assumptions are summarized in Table 22 and explained in Box 1. Employment income for
Aboriginal Canadians in 2001 was estimated to be $7,716 million, corresponding to a GDP of
$15,432 million (assuming employment income represents roughly half of GDP³⁰). The
aboriginal working age population in 2001 was 715,500 individuals, and this number is expected
to grow to 1,013,900 by 2017, due to the higher fertility level of Aboriginal Canadians.

³⁰ In 2006, nominal labour compensation in Canada was $737 million and total nominal GDP was $1,446 million,
with the former representing 51 per cent of the latter. The ratio was 50.5 per cent in 2005, 50.7 per cent in 2004 and
51.2 per cent in 2003.
