Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In all countries for which data is available, Indigenous peoples
have lower rates of formal educational participation and attainment
than their non-Indigenous counterparts. There are many structural
reasons for this, but it may in part be related to the perceived
relationship between the costs and benefits of education. Human
Capital Development and Indigenous Peoples systematically applies a
human capital approach to educational policy, to help understand
the education and broader development outcomes of indigenous
peoples. The basic Human Capital Model states that individuals,
families and communities will invest in education until the
benefits of doing so no longer outweigh the costs. This trade-off
is often considered in monetary terms. Here the author broadens
cost-benefit definitions to include health and wellbeing
improvements alongside social costs driven by discrimination and
unfair treatment in schools. With coverage of the Americas, Asia,
Australia and New Zealand, the book critiques existing approaches,
and provides an outlet for the self-described experiences of a
diverse set of indigenous peoples on the breadth of educational
costs and benefits. Combining new quantitative analysis,
cross-national perspectives and an explicit policy focus, this book
provides policy actors with a detailed understanding of the
education decision and equips them with the knowledge to enhance
benefits while minimising costs. This book will appeal to
policy-engaged researchers in the fields of economics, demography,
sociology, political science, development studies and anthropology,
as well as policy makers or practitioners who are interested in
incorporating the most recent evidence into their practice or
frameworks.
