Es&ma&ng  the  Gains  from  Closing  the  Educa&onal  AQainment  Gap  

•  The  CSLS  has  released  a  series  of  reports  es&ma&ng  the  economic  benefits  from  closing  the  gap  

•  The  most  recent,  Calver  (2015),  es&mated  the  benefits  of  closing  a  projected  educa&on  gap  in  2031,  based  on  recent  trends  in  educa&onal  aQainment  

•  Es&mates  based  upon  data  from  the  Na&onal  Household  Survey  (2011),  projec&ons  of  the  Aboriginal  popula&on  in  2031  produced  by  Sta&s&cs  Canada,  and  projec&ons  of  aggregate  economic  condi&ons  by  researchers  at  the  university  of  Toronto  

34  

Es&ma&ng  the  Gains  from  Closing  the  Educa&onal  AQainment  Gap  

•  Assume  that  an  Aboriginal  person  who  aQains  a  higher  level  of  educa&on  will  achieve  (on  average)  the  outcomes  observed  among  the  similar  Aboriginal  popula&on  with  that  creden&al  

•  Controls  for  age,  sex,  and  province/territory  of  residence  

•  Es&mates  intended  as  aspira&onal,  but  are  infeasible  in  prac&ce  (unrealis&c  to  think  sufficient  numbers  of  those  aged  25+  will  go  back  to  school  and  catch  up).

Aboriginal  Skills  and  Training  Employment  Strategy  (ASETS)  

•  Aboriginal  agreement  holders  design  and  deliver  employment  programs  and  services  suited  to  the  needs  of  their  clients  

•  All  Aboriginal  people,  regardless  of  status  or  loca&on,  may  access  its  programs  and  services,  which  include:  –  skills  development  –  training  for  high-­‐demand  jobs  –  job  finding  –  programs  for  youth  –  programs  for  urban  and  Aboriginal  people  with  disabili&es  –  access  to  child  care
