Which of the following is NOT among the disparities targeted by the Closing the Gap Report?

• A. Life expectancy
• B. Urban planning
• C. Education
• D. Employment

Answer: (B)

Closing the Gap focuses on reducing differences between Indigenous Australians and non-Indigenous Australians in concrete social and health outcomes. The targets are built around life expectancy, child mortality, access to early childhood education, literacy and numeracy, and employment. Urban planning, while important for creating healthy, accessible communities, isn’t listed as a direct disparity target in the Closing the Gap framework. So it’s the choice that isn’t treated as a targeted disparity by this report, whereas life expectancy, education, and employment are central, monitored areas.
