SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH1
Introduction to Canadian Aboriginals
Canada refers to First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities as Indigenous Peoples (or
Aboriginal Peoples). These are the pioneering people of the country named Australia. About
1.6 million Canadian people registered as aboriginal in the 2016 Census (Statistics Canada),
comprising 4.9% of the country's population. Although the indigenous culture, language and
social structures have been seriously threatened and, in some instances, extinguished by
colonial powers, the growth and prosperity of Canada has influenced and continued amid
significant adversities.
Social Determinants of Health
Social factors that determine health (SDH), which shape the conditions of daily
routine, are the circumstances under which people are born, growing, working, live and age.
These include economic and systems policies, development agendas, social standards, social
policies and political systems. The WHO-wide SDH network supports SDH action.
Impact of Lower Level of Education
The indigenous people taught their young people through traditional methods before
their encounter with Europeans: presentation, socialization of community, involvement in
cultural and spiritual practices, developing skills and oral guidance. The implementation of
schooling in Western classrooms as part of a greater goal of assimilation disrupted
conventional methods and contributed to ethnic disruption and dislocation. Reformers in
indigenous education policy are seeking to reintegrate traditional teaching to help indigenous
children in the school system in terms in cultural and language care. Training is the
foundation of the Canadian aboriginal struggle. The war is to bring them back under power as
cultures and as countries. For the last decade, Indigenous communities have been rising.

Within Canada's major population areas, their largest population stays. Aboriginal people's
overall education requirements were behind Canada's overall education standards. The
number of Aboriginal students dropping out of the secondary school is estimated at 40
percent (2009), compared with 20 percent of the overall Canadian population. According to a
survey, there are approximately 40% of Aboriginal people who have left high school
compared with 20% of the total Canadian population. The job of aboriginal people has
evolved but stayed fairly low over the 20 years. The increase in number of aboriginal people
with high schools over the last ten years has resulted in an increase in their public image.
Educating the Aboriginals is also not quite effective given the improvements. The non-
Aboriginal school program does not respect the language and culture of indigenous people.
The program raises knowledge of some of these international talents, as it destroys the native
education system. That has culminated in a perception of low self-esteem and insufficient
retirement and poor performance in Native graduates. The non-Aboriginal system of
education therefore does not honor the vocabulary, culture and traditions of the Indigenous.
Economic Stability
Economic stability defines the economic status of an individual which dignifies that
either the individual is having a basic income to satisfy his daily demands or not. Each nation
defines therir own limit of economic line. The economic line of a nation is totally based on
the average annual income of mob in that nation. It defines that the basic need of the crowd is
fulfilled by the certain amount of income.
When a individual is not being satisfied with their daily need it defines that they are
lacking to afford a basic quality of life that is needed. Moreover, lacking the economic
stability pushes a crowd to mentally unstable situations which speaks of that the future of the
same community will also face deprivation that their ancestors are facing. The non meeting
