Bill Arthur, John Hughes, and Elizah Wasaga

Discussion Paper 259 / 2004

Abstract:

Material on the careers and aspirations of Indigenous young people is limited. This paper presents some such material from Torres Strait. In 1999, 105 Indigenous people aged between 15 and 24 years were interviewed about their aspirations. A proportion of these people were reinterviewed in 2003 and this paper presents the results.
