We do so coming from academic backgrounds in economic anthropology and economic geography, respectively; we have both lived and worked in remote Australia, mainly with Indigenous people; and we were and are strong advocates for the now defunct Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) scheme and for the urgent need to consider Basic Income (BI) options in situations where there is no or very limited mainstream labour market opportunities.10 pagesapplication/pdfen-AU© The Author(s)Indigenous employmentfuture of workprecarious employmentautomation2018-02-16
