I have visited the Australian aboriginal community as the health care assistant and I have been sent over there for having the discussion with their community people. I need to draw an outline of the economic condition of that community and the employment or the occupation of the aboriginals so that it would be easy to understand what kind of health care facilities are needed to be provided for them and what type of health care facility are affordable for them. I spend 90 minutes over there and in that time, I was able to figure out the problems the indigenous people are facing. I found that most of the community are involved in the occupations like the laborers and technicians. They have leisure time for their families and other activities. They get ample amount of leisure as they has less pressure in the lower standard jobs. They can use that time for taking care of their health as well as pursuing education for the better position of them in the society. They are not aware regarding their health care services, most of the females are found to be less educated and unemployed, most of the population have basic level education, and there were very less number of people those have the interest of higher education or pursuing higher education. The education is the core factor for increasing their position in society.
When I visited the Australian aboriginal community, I found out that there is a number of Aboriginals and the Torres Strait Islander employed in the professional occupation like the laborers in the field of healthcare and education services. I have found out by seeing the records that the employment in this field has increased by 75% in the last ten years (Biddle, Taylor & Yap, 2018). I have asked many of the adults to share their stories regarding the employment, this has been seen that most of the community adults worked as the personal service workers in various fields. This includes the aged care are service, health care service, child care service, emergency services and personal services that have overtaken labors to the greatest and most common occupation for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons (Hunter & Gray, 2018). I also found out that in every one of the top five occupations of Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander grew in as the workers y approximately 52% from 2006 to 2018. The records suggest and the interviews of the aboriginals’ adult suggest that there has been a 66% increase in the employment of the aboriginals and the Torres Strait Islander (Altman, 2018). They are employed as the community and the personal service workers representing the 17% of the total employed aboriginals those who are aged over 15. The two types of occupation those who are most common among the Aboriginal and the Torres Strait Islander women are laborers and the community and personal service workers (Biddle & Hunter, 2018). The most common occupation of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander is the technicians and the trades workers and laborers. The people I have interviewed I found out that 25% of the aboriginal women are involved in the mentioned common occupation and 22% of the aboriginal men are employed as the technicians and trade workers and laborers (Li et al., 2016).
The cultural aspects of the aboriginals depend on the heritage and their cultural values and this has been affected by the white persons and the migration of the white person created a great effect and this effect has been clearly evident still now (Gray, Howlett & Hunter, 2017). The humiliation the aboriginal faced they shared the stories of their ancestors regarding the color differentiation and this has not allowed them to mix with the white culture thus, for the social pressure they need to involve themselves in the lower standard employment that is serving the people (Sanders, 2018). The Aboriginal culture was dependent on their own languages, weapons, utensils, tools, bakery and the ceremonial dress and the cultural beliefs. They use to treat and worship the natural resources like the worship of goddess whereas it is completely different for the white culture. The color differentiation and the differentiation based on the classes and status de-motivated the aboriginal children to pursue higher education (Soldatic, 2018). I have also recognized by visiting there that most of the people were either uneducated or have a standard education there was none who were pursuing higher education or was highly educated. This makes them enrolling themselves for employment like personal service workers or technicians. The aboriginal culture of Australia was one of the oldest cultures and they have developed the new stone technology and have developed new stone tools. Their culture has been disturbed and socially pressurized to migrate and for this type of treatment, they received from the white culture, their children a loose interest in pursuing higher studies (Taylor, 2018). The most important thing I have noticed that most of the women lack education which imposes them to enroll themselves in the labor jobs and in the personal service jobs whereas I have found out many men those who are trained as the technical technicians. The Australian people faced problem with the aboriginals in every places like schools, colleges and other as their culture was quite different from them, they were unable to provide values to other culture. Thus, there is a need of acceptance of the multicultural society in every places. The aboriginals need to educate themselves for gaining acceptance among the people across culture. This has been found out that they do not have lots of interest to mix with the white cultures as the discrimination they have faced, few of them shared their stories, and I found that this problem would remain in the Australian society. All these factors made them depend on the lower standard on the clerical job and it was not for their cultural aspects it was socially imposed on them. I have also found out that the Australian society will require time to get accustomed with the multicultural society. I also found out that they were unaware of the health care facilities, which they should inherit for properly living their lives. I found that there is a need of providing the proper health care information especially to the children and the women of their culture and the women have a tendency of neglecting their own health care services, for which there is a need of making them understand the value and the awareness of the health care facilities. I have found out the same as stated by Hunter & Daly, (2018), there has been a change reflected in the labor force status, income, occupation and the industry of the employment. The Aboriginal women are found to be unemployed three times more than the other Australian women are. This also found out by me like it is stated by the authors that there should be the understandings of the reasons for the poor condition of the labor market and the performance of the aboriginal women need to be updated to involve in the labor service for increasing the economic status of the aboriginal families (Short, 2016). This study also found out the possible determinants of the labor services for the aboriginal females. They showed the negative effect on the probability of the participation of the indigenous females and also provide some policy and recommend the indigenous women to follow this for the raising of the participation level among the indigenous Aboriginal women. My perceptions are same as stated by Karmel et al., (2014) that the participation and attainment of the Australian aboriginals have been increasing in the education and training. There is the existence of the gaps between the indigenous and the non-indigenous Australians. I also think like the authors that the only factor, which is needed to be focused on is education as this is the only factor that can mitigate or close the gap between the indigenous and the non-indigenous Australians. This study also provides descriptive information for investigating the linkages between the attainment and the participation of the Australian aboriginals in the training and the education. This also comprised of the employment outcomes throughout the regions and the occupations. The function of the educational attainment is being especially focused in this study for explaining the difference in the employment rates. I also did the same thing as it is mentioned in this study that is motivating the indigenous people and also enhancing the interest of the aboriginals by accounting the various elements for the economic participation and focusing on the employer discrimination factors, social capitals, and the cultural attachments. I decided to introduce them to various programs on my second visit and the higher education participation program and this will involve the additional information regarding the health care information and various measures for improving the employee participation.
Therefore, from the above discussion, it can be concluded that the aboriginal community I have visited in Australia needs a lot of improvement, especially in the economic status in the society. As most of the aboriginals have been found to be involved in the labor job or in the post of the technical technicians. They do not have any interest in the higher studies because of the unacceptance they have faced when they have migrated. I thought of involving them in the various programs for educating them, as the females mainly need to be educated, then only they will become aware of taking care of their health. The above-mentioned studies helped me to figure out the strategies to motivate them for increasing their economic status in the society.
