Inequalities in Health between First Nations Adults Living Off-Reserve and Non-Indigenous Adults in Canada: A Decomposition Analysis
In: Canadian public policy: Analyse de politiques, Band 50, Heft 1, S. 51-75
ISSN: 1911-9917
Le présent article, qui s'appuie sur le sous-échantillon d'adultes des Premières Nations de l'Enquête auprès des peuples autochtones (EAPA) de 2017 et d'adultes non autochtones de l'Enquête sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes de 2017 (N = 35 390), examine les inégalités en matière d'état général de santé et de santé mentale autodéclarés, d'asthme diagnostiqué et de diabète diagnostiqué entre les adultes non autochtones et les adultes des Premières Nations vivant hors réserve au Canada. L'approche Blinder-Oaxaca a été utilisée pour décomposer les inégalités de chaque résultat sur la santé en différences de caractéristiques et en différences de rendement. L'étude révèle que les résultats sur la santé des adultes des Premières Nations sont 5 à 10% inférieurs à ceux des populations non autochtones; les personnes adultes des Premières Nations non inscrites se déclarant en moins bonne santé que les personnes adultes des Premières Nations inscrites, à l'exception du diabète. L'étude révèle également que les caractéristiques observables représentent 20 à 45% des inégalités en matière d'état de santé général, de santé mentale et de diabète. Les facteurs socio-économiques, tels que la situation de l'emploi, le revenu et le niveau d'études, représentent 10 à 25% des différences en matière d'auto-évaluation de l'état de santé général, de santé mentale et de diabète diagnostiqué chez les membres des Premières Nations, qu'ils soient ou non inscrits, par rapport à la population non autochtone. Bien que cette contribution n'ait pas été en mesure d'évaluer d'autres voies critiques par lesquelles divers aspects du colonialisme continuent de nuire aux peuples des Premières Nations, les résultats laissent à penser que l'amélioration du statut socio-économique des peuples des Premières Nations vivant hors réserve pourrait potentiellement réduire les inégalités en matière de santé entre ces personnes et la population non autochtone au Canada.

Literacy, Numeracy, Technology Skill, and Labour Market Outcomes among Indigenous Peoples in Canada
In: Canadian public policy: Analyse de politiques, Band 45, Heft 1, S. 48-73
ISSN: 1911-9917
We use the 2012 Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies to examine the relationship between information-processing skills, educational attainment, and labour market outcomes among Indigenous peoples in Canada. Relative to the non-Indigenous sample, we find negative earnings differentials, higher unemployment, and lower employment and labour market participation among Indigenous peoples, as well as important differences between First Nations, Métis, and Inuit workers. First Nations peoples show larger gaps in terms of earnings and employment outcomes. Moreover, Métis peoples show worse employment outcomes and negative earnings differentials in the upper part of the distribution. First Nations peoples also show sizable gaps in literacy, numeracy, and technology skill relative to the non-Indigenous sample. Not surprisingly, there is a positive relationship between information-processing skills and wages. However, the returns to skills are very similar for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. That is, we find no evidence of economic discrimination. Once these skills are conditioned on, the earnings differentials decline. We also find that education can reduce skill and wage gaps, although the additional impact is small. The results imply the need to consider barriers to education faced by Indigenous peoples.

Towards Green and Low-Carbon Development in Chinese Cities
In: Urbanisation, Band 7, Heft 1_suppl, S. S42-S60
ISSN: 2456-3714
This article presents an indicator system called Low-Carbon and Green Index for Cities (LOGIC) that evaluates the performance of Chinese cities in terms of low-carbon development and identifies areas for improvement. This system issues a score ranging from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better performance in lower carbon growth within a specified time period. LOGIC was applied to a sample of 115 Chinese cities representing a diverse range of population sizes, income levels, geographies and stages of economic and urban growth between 2010 and 2015. The results of this study indicate that these cities have made progress in green and low-carbon development. In addition, more than 90 of the 115 sampled cities experienced GDP growth alongside LOGIC score growth over the selected period, showing that green and low-carbon goals are not antithetical to good economic performance. The average overall index score for all 115 Chinese cities in 2015 was 44.9 out of 100, reflecting China's heavy reliance on coal and its energy-intensive economy. Low-carbon pilot cities had an average overall index score of 47.0 in 2015 compared to an average of 42.9 for non-pilot cities. These LOGIC results suggest that transforming city economies away from energy-intensive towards high-tech and service industries could facilitate their low-carbon and green growth. This article uses the city of Wuhan as a case study to illustrate the application of LOGIC and its utility in assessing city-level low-carbon efforts.
