Towards a Social Policy
Abstract
The development of coherent social policies involves description, explanation, evaluation, and utilisation. This chapter focuses on descriptive data in the form of social indicators that are necessary for understanding the position of Aborigines in Australian society. Indeed, this whole book emphasises the need to clarify the true status of Aborigines because such information is a precondition to efficient progress toward betterment. It is also necessary to record in a systematic and orderly way the form, magnitude and trend of investment by state and commonwealth governments in Aboriginal betterment.
