Indigenous Resources - Background, Policy, Analysis: Employment/Labour

"Aboriginal peoples have a history of agriculture that goes back many centuries, long before the arrival of Europeans on the land that today includes Canada. Very little data, or for that matter analysis, on Aboriginal peoples and agriculture has been published. This article represents Statistics Canada’s first attempt at filling this gap.
One of the key products from the 2016 Census of Agriculture is the Agriculture Population Linkage Database, a rich source of information on the socioeconomic characteristics of the agricultural population, which is defined as all persons who live in agricultural households. By linking farm level data from the Census of Agriculture to individuals in the Census of Population, a portrait emerges of Aboriginal peoples and agriculture.
It should be noted that Aboriginal history has been marked by government policies that affected Aboriginal access to farmland, tools and markets. The recent statistics, then, should be viewed with this history in mind."

"This paper uses the 2017 Aboriginal Peoples Survey to assess the employment characteristics of First Nations men and women. The 2017 APS represents the fifth cycle of the survey and focuses on participation in the economy, including factors effecting economic participation, labour mobility, entrepreneurship, post-secondary education, targeted skills training, sources of income and financial well-being."

"This audit focused on whether Employment and Social Development Canada managed the Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy and the Skills and Partnership Fund to increase the number of Indigenous people getting jobs and staying employed. Specifically, we analyzed the
Department’s actions to implement, monitor, report on, and improve the programs."

"The First Nations Regional Early Childhood, Education and Employment Survey (FNREEES, or REEES) was created to address a long-standing data gap that existed around early childhood education and development, youth employment and education, adult employment and education, and labour-market conditions in First Nations communities.
Launched in 2013, the REEES was conducted and carried out by the First Nations Information Governance Centre (FNIGC), a non-profit First Nations organization, in collaboration with its Regional Partner organizations (representing 10 provinces and two territories).

The most technically complex survey ever undertaken by FNIGC, the REEES was a unique initiative, marking the first time this breadth of information had ever been collected in First Nations on-reserve and Northern communities. The baseline data collected through the REEES offers valuable information on key indicators on a range of topics spanning the life cycle."

"This is the first sector-wide employment equity report that uses findings based on the Commission’s new horizontal audit model. This first audit looked at Indigenous employment in Canada’s banking and financial sector...This horizontal audit looked at compliance with the EEA, identified employment barriers faced by Indigenous people within the banking and financial sector, and gathered best practices to share with employers in the sector to assist them in the recruitment and retention of Indigenous people in their workforces...."
