Literature Review on Barriers to Employment for Indigenous Victorians
ACER has been commissioned by the Victorian State Services Authority to write a review paper that will identify structural, cultural and other barriers to employment. The paper will also identify the drivers of participation of the Indigenous community in Victorian public and private sector employment. Sets of principles and policies will be derived to inform the Victorian Government's consideration of its Wur-cum barra strategy to increase employment of Indigenous Victorians.
