SOCI 1121 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Calvin Helin, Stumpage
Document Summary
Non-standard employment = seasonal (fishery, forestry, mining) Demographic tsunami - calvin helin ( the dances with dependency ) It is extremely difficult to get money for being aboriginal. People have the perception that it is simple, they get money. Why do we give a crap about statistics that tell us aboriginal students are not going beyond a diploma. 1 in 3 canadians are 50 or older. The baby boomers grew up and will all have gic and cpp and have medical expenses all at the same time. As well, aboriginals are underfunded and need more support and encouragement to get an education. We need to address the fact that the aboriginal youth are not graduating, going to college, getting high jobs. Education and occupation is a problem that needs to be addressed. We need them to not be unemployed or homelessness. The money is not going where it needs to go.
