This year we will meet our first Closing the Gap target of ensuring access to early childhood education for all Indigenous four year olds in remote communities. Our historic levels of investment under the National Partnership Agreement on Early Childhood ...
Agreement on the magnitude of the gap is arguably needed in order to evaluate strategies aimed at improving health outcomes for Indigenous Australians. Moreover, measuring progress towards ‘closing the gap’ depends on the availability of comparable estimates, using the same techniques of measurement ...
In the past 30 years in the United States, an increasing income gap has become evident (Income Inequality in the United States2021).

A new study by Douzery et al, 2004 applies a Bayesian relaxed clock method to a large eukaryotic data set and obtains much better agreement between molecular dates and the fossil record. Predicting the timing of evolutionary events from fossil, morphological and molecular data is a challenging ...
However, we expect a practical scenario to fall in between these two cases, as the installation of the new turbines would be highly dependent on the contingent agreement between the country and the contractors. As we find a limited variability in the optimal buildout across our four modelling ...
Parametric insurance differs to a traditional indemnity policy in that it covers the insured for the probability of a pre-defined event happening. Essentially, it is an agreement to make a pre-determined payment if a triggering event occurs which is expected to cause a loss. Weather is one of...
