The Aboriginal population living in the census agglomeration of Prince Albert is young and growing. In 2006, 13,570 Aboriginal people lived there, a 17% increase from 2001.
Over half (56%) the Aboriginal population in Prince Albert was under the age of 25, almost double the proportion of 28% for the non-Aboriginal population.
Aboriginal youth aged 15 to 24 in Prince Albert had lower school attendance rates than their non-Aboriginal counterparts (51% versus 59%). Aboriginal people also have a greater tendency to return to school later in life than do non-Aboriginal people.
Aboriginal women in Prince Albert were slightly more likely than Aboriginal men to have completed postsecondary education. Almost half (47%) of Aboriginal women aged 25 to 64 years had completed postsecondary education, compared to 45% of their male counterparts.
The unemployment rate for the Aboriginal core working age population (aged 25 to 54) in Prince Albert was higher than that of the non-Aboriginal population (14.3% compared to 5.2%). While First Nations women were more likely to be unemployed than their male counterparts, the inverse was true in the Métis and non-Aboriginal populations.
Métis men and women aged 25 to 54 had employment rates (79.8% and 76.8%, respectively) that most resembled those of their non-Aboriginal counterparts (86.2% and 83.2%, respectively).
In 2000, Aboriginal people working full-time, full-year, earned 86% of what their non-Aboriginal counterparts were earning. By 2005, this percentage had increased to 87%.
