Assessment and recommendations

Indigenous peoples live in 13 OECD member countries and a number of non‑member countries that work closely with the OECD (e.g. Brazil, Costa Rica and Peru). There are approximately 38 million Indigenous people across OECD member countries, which is equivalent to the total population of Poland, the 12th largest OECD member country in terms of the size of population. The subnational analysis focuses on five OECD member countries that have disaggregated data available on Indigenous peoples (Australia, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand and the United States). These countries present 94% of the total Indigenous peoples across OECD member countries.
