The present report serves as a follow-up to that study with the aim of reassessing the benefits of closing the gap in light of new data from the 2011 National Household Survey. [...] One can estimate the average years of educational attainment of the population by assigning a number of years of education to each highest educational attainment category based on years of education reported by the total population in that category in the 2001 Census. [...] Assessing the Benefits from Closing the Education Gap We quantify the magnitude of the benefits from closing the Aboriginal educational attainment gap for the working age population (aged 15+) in order to assess the potential returns of future investments in this area. [...] First, we project the Aboriginal educational attainment gap in 2031 if the 2011 educational attainment levels of the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations continue to follow the trends observed between the 2006 and 2011 censuses. [...] For the purposes of these exercises, closing the educational attainment gap means that the share of the Aboriginal population in each educational attainment category in 2031 is the same as the share of the non-Aboriginal population in that educational attainment category in 2031.
