Third, uniformity in the decline of population with age suggests net inter-regional migration balance, although a relative absence of males in the 15–24 age group may well reflect out-migration. Finally, relatively large numbers of women in the childbearing ages, and even larger cohorts beneath them, indicate high potential for future growth in numbers, even if the actual fertility rate were to decline. Resident Aboriginal population of Thamarrurr Region by age and sex, 2003 Source: Thamarrurr community census By contrast, the non-Aboriginal age distribution is typical of a population that is subject to selective migration into the region for the purposes of employment.
The essential background to this need is the projected high growth in the Aboriginal working age population and the certainty that CDEP expansion will be insufficient to cater for labour supply. 2. Three standard indicators of labour force THE REGIONAL LABOUR MARKET 39 status are presented, although these are modified here as simple proportions of the population aged 15 years and over: • • • employment/population ratio, representing the percentage of persons aged 15 years and over who indicated in the census that they were in employment (either in CDEP or mainstream work) during the week prior to enumeration; unemployment rate, expressed as those who indicated that they were not in employment but had actively looked for work during the four weeks prior to enumeration, as a percentage of those aged 15 years and over; labour force participation rate, representing persons in the labour force (employed and unemployed) as a percentage of those of working age—shown here in its converse form as a rate of those not in the labour force (NILF).
For these purposes a standard cohort-component methodology is generally applied, and this practice is adopted here to project the Aboriginal population of Thamarrurr 20 years hence, roughly a generation from now. Projection assumptions The cohort-component method carries forward the 2003 population to 2023 by successive five-year periods. The projection is based simply on ageing the population by five-year DEMOGRAPHY OF THE THAMARRURR REGION 33 blocs, subjecting each group to age- and sex-specific mortality, fertility and net migration regimes as follows: • • • • Survival rates from the Aboriginal life tables for the Northern Territory (ABS 2002b) are applied and held constant for the projection period.
