“…11 Reflecting the party's broader difference-blind policy orientation (Tonge, 2020), Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle has questioned whether imputation and the construction of a community background statistical output are compatible with the Council of Europe's Framework Convention on the Protection of National Minorities (FCNM) (AQW 52331 /11-16;AQW 52332/11-16). The Advisory Committee on the FCNM (2017: 12) has expressed concern about the subjective determination of workforce composition and has called for careful monitoring of the mechanism against its original purpose, but continued reliance on 'perceived community background' has been defended by nationalist politicians (Sinn Féin, 2007) and some academics (Ringelheim, 2011). The census imputation procedure, meanwhile, is considered less legally problematic.…”

While ethno-national demography has featured significantly in political and scholarly debates about Northern Ireland, little attention has been paid to the politics of the Northern Ireland census itself. This article addresses this gap by exploring census politics since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. It demonstrates that the border poll provision of the Good Friday Agreement and Brexit have increased the political salience of census results, with the 2021 census now being anticipated by many as a potential referendum trigger. Against this background, I argue that new census questions – on religious background and national identity – have had significant consequences for debates about the constitutional future. Introduced in order to satisfy requirements stemming partly from equalities legislation, an unintended consequence of the religious background question has been to reinforce ‘two communities’ narratives in constitutional debates, whereas the national identity question has served to problematise assumptions about relationships between identity and constitutional preferences.

“…At the same time, the risks of relying solely on self-identification to recognize Indigenous belonging have also been pointed out. Self-identification, as a voluntary identification, may lead to overreporting or underreporting (Ringelheim, 2011). Firstly, with regard to overreporting, this trend has occurred as a result of 'wannabes', who try to appropriate Indigenous privileges.…”

“…Under such circumstances, government and policy makers tend to miscount and misperceive urban Indigenous populations, which has recurrently resulted in 'statistical genocide', meaning that government uses these incorrect population counts to justify reduced funding for social services for urban Indigenous populations (Lobo, 2001a, page xii). The lack of exact numbers and data on areas in which these populations live has also had a negative impact on "analysing discrimination and guiding action" (Ringelheim, 2011(Ringelheim, , page 1689.…”

“…Because outsiders do not always see the dynamics of urban Indigenous populations, Indigenous identities cannot be defined by anyone but urban Indigenous people themselves. Recent studies of ethnic minorities, including Indigenous peoples, have also confirmed that self-identification is key to surveys on ethnic minorities, and a lack of self-identification in surveys may affect the reliability of data and the credibility of surveys of stigmatized populations (Krizsán, 2012;Lobo, 2001a;Ringelheim, 2011;Watson, 2014a;Yamanouchi, 2010). To make survey data more credible, ethnic minorities are even encouraged to 'come out' (Ringelheim, 2011).…”

“…The case of the Dogai Ainu, however, might suggest that some arguments made in the literature on Indigenous/ethnic studies need to be carefully examined. These arguments include: that self-identification is key to surveys on Indigenous peoples to recruit participants; that credible data are important for governments to implement ethnic policies; and that ethnic minorities should be encouraged to 'come out' to make survey data more credible (eg, Krizsán, 2012;Lawrence, 2004;Lobo, 2001b;Ringelheim, 2011;Sissons, 2005;Watson, 2014a;Yamanouchi, 2010). In the case of the Dogai Ainu, however, the survey organizers encountered significant difficulties in obtaining consent to participate in the survey (WGDA, 2011, page 34).…”

Being Indigenous in a Non-Indigenous Environment: Identity Politics of the Dogai Ainu and New Indigenous Policies of Japan

The au th o r discusses the identities and socioeconomic status o f Indigenous people in a non-Indigenous environm ent, ways to recognize Indigenous belonging statistically, and ethnic policies in a Japanese context, specifically focusing on the Dogai Ainu; that is, the Ainu who left their original hom eland of H okkaido and live elsewhere in Japan. The Japanese G overnm ent's 2010 socioeconomic survey of the Dogai Ainu dem onstrated a socioeconomic gap between the D ogai Ainu and the m ajority o f the Japanese. This survey also revealed the difficulty of conducting surveys o f the Dogai Ainu because, in a non-Indigenous environm ent, many o f them tend to conceal their ethnicity for fear of discrim ination and hesitate to participate in surveys. Indigenous peoples in Anglophone countries are increasingly challenging the definition of Indigeneity as imposed by outsiders, and self-identification is becoming an essential com ponent o f recognizing Indigenous belonging to reflect the reality and diversity o f Indigenous identities. Some countries such as the USA and C anada have also begun using self-identification for enum eration in statistics. The case study of the D ogai Ainu, however, suggests that Indigenous belonging cannot always be recognized by self-identification and Indigenous policies may have to be implemented w ithout comprehensive data.

To assess how and to what extent socioeconomic status and ethnicity/race of participants are reported in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on systemic sclerosis (SSc), and to estimate the representativeness of different ethnic/racial groups in SSc RCTs.Methods. We searched all published RCTs on SSc indexed in PubMed. We retrieved information on main features of RCTs published from 2000 onward and recorded for each study whether race/ethnicity was reported; how ethnicity/ race was defined and assigned; and the number of patients included for each racial/ethnic group. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with race/ethnicity reporting. Proportion of races/ethnicities included in US-based RCTs on SSc was examined and compared with US demographic data.Results. We included 106 studies, mostly conducted in Europe (42%) or North America (25%), published after 2010 (74%), and enrolling a total of 6,693 patients. About one-third of studies provided information about race/ethnicity, with no improved reporting over time. Only 2 papers reported patient's socioeconomic status. Study location (US or intercontinental) was the only significant factor associated with a better reporting of race/ethnicity in multivariable analysis. In studies where race/ethnicity was reported, White patients were mostly represented (79%), followed by Asian (7%), and African American (6%). In the sensitivity analysis limited to studies from the US, underrepresentation of African American patients was observed in the 2000-2010 time period, but not later.Conclusion. Documentation of race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status is poor in RCTs on SSc. More effort should be made to document race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status and to promote diversity in SSc RCTs.
