“…Indigenous people suffer from shocking health conditions. There exists an increase in the poor health condition of the Indigenous people, and this poor health condition translates to high rate of mental illness and mortality (Bradley et al, 2007; Dixon & Maré, 2007; Gundersen, 2008; Stephens et al, 2005). Ohenjo et al (2006) state that in other parts of the world, there is little knowledge about the health condition of the Indigenous people and the access to decent health facilities.…”

The Indigenous people of Malaysia are a heterogeneous community scattered over more than 852 villages in Peninsular Malaysia. This community has been identified to be among the poorest and marginalized in Peninsular Malaysia. This study evaluates the well-being factors as well as problems that hinder the development of an Indigenous community in Peninsular Malaysia. This article adopted a quantitative approach based on data collected through survey and 2,136 respondents were interviewed. The study reveals that the Indigenous community is likely to remain poor in terms of economic status significantly because of insufficient access to basic education and the inability of being employed. This is also due to the inability to receive support for housing, economic livelihood, and other social infrastructures. In addition, the study indicates that economic status and access to education are the most significant factors that may help improve the overall well-being of an Indigenous community. This finding also suggests that the social and environmental aspects in Peninsular Malaysia have not improved together with economic development.

“…Māori have poorer health outcomes (Harris et al, 2006), lower levels of subjective well-being (Sibley, Harré, Hoverd, & Houkamau, 2011), and a shorter life-expectancy (Carter, Blakely, & Soeberg, 2010; Chapple, 2000) than New Zealand Europeans (i.e., the ethnic majority group in New Zealand). Māori also earn less (Chapple, 2000; Dixon & Maré, 2007) and are more likely to be unemployed (Dixon & Maré, 2007) than their ethnic majority counterparts. Finally, Māori are overrepresented in the criminal justice system (Soboleva & Chong, 2006).…”

Hidden consequences of political efficacy: Testing an efficacy–apathy model of political mobilization.

Political efficacy-the belief that one can influence politics-is a key predictor of people's involvement in social movements. Political institutions that are open to change should, however, be seen as just. Thus, political efficacy may ironically undermine minority group members' support for collective action by simultaneously increasing their belief in the fairness of the system. The current study aims to examine this possibility in a national sample of Māori-New Zealand's indigenous minority population. Participants (N = 399) were Māori (Mage = 44.22; SD = 13.30) women (n = 272) and men (n = 115; unreported = 12) who completed a survey assessing their levels of (a) political efficacy, (b) system justification, and (c) support for the political mobilization of their group, as well as relevant demographic covariates. Consistent with past research, political efficacy had a positive direct effect on participants' support for the political mobilization of Māori. Nevertheless, political efficacy also had a negative indirect effect on political mobilization support via increases in system justification. These results held after controlling for participants' ethnic identification, self-efficacy, and conservatism. Our findings uncover a hidden consequence of political efficacy and show that, while believing that the political system is receptive to change predicts political mobilization, it can also undermine minorities' support for the mobilization of their group. Thus, our results uncover a previously unknown process that maintains inequality between ethnic minority and majority group members.

“…9 It is expected that the no formal education gap and the percentage of Indigenous people with incomplete studies because of financial constraints will have a positive relationship with the IUBNgap while the university education level gap has a negative relationship with the IUBNgap. Empirical literature has found a statistical relationship between increasing labour opportunities for minorities and declining income inequality (Dixon & Maré, 2007;Lewin-Epstein & Semyonov, 1992). To measure this relationship, the percentage of Indigenous people who are formally employed, and the percentage of Indigenous job seekers, with and without working experience were added to the model.…”

Indigenous Income Disparity and Resguardo Land in Colombia

This article examines the association between the resguardo, a colonial land access system similar to the North American reserve and reservation systems, and income inequality among Indigenous people in Colombia. I regressed the variable income unmet basic needs gap (IUBNgap) between Indigenous people and non-minority people in Colombia on a set of regressors that included the mean of resguardo land size per family. I find that more resguardo land per family is associated with a larger IUBNgap, which is likely due to the fact that resguardos tend to be larger where lands are isolated and where most of the land suitable for economic production is owned by non-Indigenous landowners.
