Further data development / collection required: | Specification: Interim Work is required to collect data by qualification level of current study. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is exploring options for collecting level and field of current study in future household surveys, commencing with the General Social Survey (GSS) 2010. The ABS is not planning on collecting these data items in future Census’s. |
Other issues caveats: | At this stage, the ABS informs that information is only available on qualification levels for those who have completed studies (not those who are currently studying). The Indigenous undercount in the Census may introduce bias into the results for Indigenous disaggregation, which may affect comparability across states and territories. |
