Unlike non-Indigenous people, there were no statistically significant differencesbetween Indigenous women and men in poor educational attainment, low income,and unemployment. In the non-Indigenous population, women were more likelythan men to be without a non-school qualification, and also more likely to havelower incomes (figure 13.1.2).• The Indigenous to non-Indigenous rate ratios for not having a non-schoolqualification, unemployment, not participating in the labour force, and havinglow incomes were all higher for men than women. In particular, Indigenous menwere twice as likely as non-Indigenous men to have low individual incomes,while there was no difference between the proportions of Indigenous andnon-Indigenous women with low individual incomes (figure 13.1.2).13.1.3 Differences by remoteness areaBoth Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations have been grouped into subgroupsbased on the ABS Australian Standard Geographic Classification (ASGC) ofremoteness areas: major cities, inner regional, outer regional, remote, and veryremote. Non-Indigenous comparisons are not possible for very remote areas or forhome ownership, as these data were not collected in the 2004-05 NHS.MEASURINGMULTIPLEDISADVANTAGE13.7
