The objective of the Routledge Handbook of Indigenous Wellbeing is to provide a reliable and convenient source of information for policy makers, academics and students on the wellbeing of Indigenous peoples and communities across the world. The Handbook will allow readers to make informed choices when making decisions regarding the wellbeing of Indigenous populations. The Handbook will also assist non-government organisations such as the World Health Organisation, the World Bank, the United Nations and the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development to gain a global perspective of factors that are relevant to the development of stronger and more effective international policy aimed at improving the lives of Indigenous communities.
Contributing authors are currently being identified and will be selected based on their unique knowledge and expertise regarding the wellbeing of a specific Indigenous population.
The Handbook is expected to be published in late 2017.
