When did Australia kidnap Aboriginal children?
Stolen Generations
The study indicated that removed Aboriginal people were less likely to have completed a secondary education, three times as likely to have acquired a police record, and were twice as likely to use illicit drugs as were Aboriginal people who grew up in their ethnic community.[29] The only notable advantage "removed" Aboriginal people achieved was a higher average income. The report noted this was likely due to the increased urbanisation of removed individuals, and greater access to welfare payments than for Aboriginal people living in remote communities.[29] There seemed little evidence that removed mixed-race Aborigines had been successful in gaining better work even in urbanised areas.
