Can Public Policy. 2011;37(Suppl):S15-S31.
The health and social conditions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples in Canada remain important policy concerns. The life course has been proposed by some as a framework for analysis that could assist in the development of policies that would improve the economic and social inclusion of Aboriginal peoples. In this paper we support the goal of applying a life-course perspective to policies related to Aboriginal peoples but suggest that the framework needs to consider the unique relationship between Aboriginal peoples and public policies. We provide some illustrations using data from the 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey.
加拿大第一民族、因纽特人和梅蒂斯人的健康和社会状况仍然是重要的政策关注点。一些人提出，生命历程可以作为一个分析框架，帮助制定改善原住民经济和社会包容的政策。本文我们支持将生命历程视角应用于与原住民相关政策的目标，但建议该框架需要考虑原住民与公共政策之间的独特关系。我们使用 2001 年原住民调查的数据提供了一些说明。
