What is Closing the Gap?  - ¿Qué es el plan Cerrar la Brecha?

from SBS Spanish - SBS en español

Australia has one of the highest life expectancies in the world. On average, Australians live to see their 83rd birthday. But for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, life expectancy is about eight years less. Closing the Gap is a national agreement designed to change that. By improving the health and wellbeing of First Nations, they can enjoy the same quality of life and opportunities as non-Indigenous Australians. - Australia tiene una de las expectativas de vida más altas del mundo. En promedio, los australianos viven hasta cumplir 83 años. Pero para los aborígenes e isleños del Estrecho de Torres, la esperanza de vida es unos ocho años menor. "Cerrar la brecha" es un acuerdo nacional diseñado para cambiar esa situación. Al mejorar la salud y el bienestar de las Primeras Naciones, pueden disfrutar de la misma calidad de vida y oportunidades que los australianos no indígenas.
