Article behind a paywall, but info worth knowing. No mention of the report itself of course! INDIGENOUS employment statistics are not just bleak, they're opaque and often out of date, making it harder to develop a coherent policy response to the problem. This concern, raised in research to be published today, has prompted key Aboriginal employment groups to call on the federal government to change its approach to collecting employment data for indigenous Australians.

Cultural dimensions of Indigenous participation in vocational education and training: new perspectives by Alfred Michael Dockery, Centre for Labour Market Research and Curtin University This report provides new evidence on the interrelationships between Indigenous Australians' affiliation with their traditional culture and the nature of their engagement with vocational education and training (VET). It aims to enhance our understanding of the causal channels through which culture shapes VET participation and outcomes, and vice versa, and builds on previous work presented in the author's 2009 publication, Cultural dimensions of Indigenous participation in education and training, in a number of ways. Most importantly, richer measures of culture are developed which capture separate elements of the broader concept of 'cultural attachment'. Using these measures and more recent data, previous findings relating to past educational attainment and participation in training are reassessed. Evidence is also presented on the links between cultural attachment and current participation in education and on the benefits Indigenous Australians derive from education and training, conditional upon remoteness and cultural attachment.

By analysing topics of interest and concern to Australians the researchers have been able to build a 'network map' [of Twitter users] showing the connections between different issues and areas. "Just as newspapers have circulation reports and TV has its ratings, it is important to understand the role which new media are playing in our society," they say.
