Highlights
taken from Aboriginal
Business Canada's "Aboriginal Entrepreneurs
in Canada Progress & Prospects":
- The
Aboriginal population has been growing more than
three times faster than that for all Canadians.
- The
Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples forecast
that between 1991 and 2016, the Aboriginal population
will rise by 52% (compared to 22% for non-Aboriginal
Canadians).
- The
Aboriginal population is overwhelmingly young -
about 10 years younger, on average, than the overall
Canadian population. As a result, the Aboriginal
working-age population, especially those aged 35-64,
will increase dramatically.
- Over
half of the Aboriginal population is under the age
of 25.
- Aboriginal
entrepreneurs under 30 years of age make up almost
19% of all Aboriginal self-employed - nearly double
the 10% for Canadians in general.
- The
growth in the number of self-employed Aboriginal
women is double that for women generally.
Moreover, women entrepreneurs comprise a larger
proportion of the Aboriginal self-employed than
is the case nationally. This is true in every
age group.
- The
proportion of Aboriginal students attending higher
education who are 25 years or over is three times
that for the general population.
