Confidence and Economic Engagement among Aboriginal People

  • Author(s) / Creator(s)
  • This study examines the relationship between lack of confidence and economic participation among Aboriginal peoples in Canada using data from the 2017 Aboriginal Peoples Survey. The research investigates how confidence varies across Aboriginal groups and regions, and how it relates to employment. It also explores the intersections of lack of confidence with sociodemographic factors in shaping economic outcomes. Employing quantitative methods, the study utilizes descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and regression modeling. The findings are expected to reveal significant variations in confidence levels, with higher confidence positively associated with economic participation. Socio-demographic variables are anticipated to moderate these relationships. The results have important policy implications for promoting Aboriginal economic empowerment by informing targeted interventions and support programs that foster self-efficacy and address the unique needs of different Aboriginal subgroups. The study highlights the importance of incorporating confidence and skill development alongside other human capital and institutional supports in policies and initiatives for Aboriginal economic success, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing Aboriginal workforce engagement and success.
