Note 1. "Aboriginal identity" refers to persons who reported identifying with at least one Aboriginal group (First Nations, Métis or Inuit) and/or those who reported being a Treaty Indian or a Registered Indian, as defined by the Indian Act of Canada, and/or those who reported in the National Household Survey that they were members of an Indian band or First Nation. Return to note 1 referrer Note 2. Figures for 2011 represent the number of people reporting Aboriginal identity in the 2011 National Household survey, adjusted for census undercount and partially enumerated reserves. Return to note 2 referrer Note 3. The Demosim microsimulation population projections model was used to develop the projections for both the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations shown in this table. The 2011 National Household survy serves as the base population for these projections. Projections are based on a set of assumptions on the populations at both the outset of the projections and the future evolution of the components likely to affect the size and composition of the populations. For the Aboriginal population, these assumptions were grouped together in a limited number of scenarios designed to show what would happen in the coming years if the underlying assumptions were proven correct. The components considered in these assumptions include, but are not limited to: fertility, mortality, migration, and inter- and intra-generational ethnic mobility. "Ethnic mobility" is the phenomenon by which individuals and families change their ethnic affiliation over time; for example, when an individual changes his or her affiliation over time, or when affiliation changes between parents and children. Assumptions for the Aboriginal population are from Scenarios 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Projections of the Aboriginal Population and Households in Canada, 2011 to 2036, Statistics Canada catalogue no. 91-552-X. Return to note 3 referrer Note 4. Scenario 1 assumes constant ethnic mobility, full convergence of fertility for the Aboriginal population and constant internal migration, along with assumptions on other components. Return to note 4 referrer Note 5. Scenario 2 assumes constant ethnic mobility, half convergence of fertility for the Aboriginal population and constant internal migration, along with assumptions on other components. Return to note 5 referrer Note 6. Scenario 3 assumes constant ethnic mobility, constant fertility for the Aboriginal population and constant internal migration, along with assumptions on other components. Return to note 6 referrer Note 7. Scenario 4 assumes no ethnic mobility, full convergence of fertility for the Aboriginal population and constant internal migration, along with assumptions on other components. Return to note 7 referrer Note 8. Scenario 5 assumes constant ethnic mobility, full convergence of fertility for the Aboriginal population and no internal migration, along with assumptions on other components.
