What is Closing the Gap?  - Šta znači Closing the Gap - "zatvaranje jaza"?

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. - Australci imaju skoro najduži životni vijek na svijetu. U prosjeku, Australci dožive svoj 83. rođendan. Međutim, životni vijek Aboridžina i otočana moreuza Torres je otprilike osam godina kraći. "Closing the Gap" (Zatvaranje jaza) je nacionalni sporazum koji ima za cilj da to promijeni. Poboljšanjem zdravlja i dobrobiti pripadnika autohtonih naroda, oni mogu uživati isti kvalitet života i jednake prilike kao i neautohotoni Australci.
