Public Health-Essay

Consider the three targets that are listed as not on track in the Prime Ministers report in 2015 on Closing the Gap between Indigenous and Non Indigenous Australians. a. Close the gap in life expectancy within a generation. b. Halve the gap in reading, writing and numeracy achievements for Indigenous students. c. Halve the gap in employment outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians Select any one of these targets and critically discuss the best economic strategy to meet the target. Your discussion should also include how you take into account the sources of economic inequality (?the gap?) between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians and how your own social position influenced your thinking about the best strategy to achieve the selected target.
