Taking the long view: Indigenous employment 1981–2021
This paper presents an analysis of Indigenous employment trends in Australia from 1981 to 2021, using nine iterations of 5-yearly Census data.

There is markedly less literature using a strength‐based approach, detailing how Indigenous‐…

The importance of understanding Indigenous employment in the Indigenous business sector
Indigenous employment has been the subject of numerous policies in Australia, with governments aiming to increase the workforce participation rate amongst Indigenous people in recent years. Indigenous‐owned businesses, formally defined as businesses that are at least 50% Indigenous‐owned, have been demonstrated in previous research to maintain substantially higher levels of proportional Indigenous employment than non‐Indigenous businesses. This s…
