Definition:Help on this term

Self-reported employment status of a person, immediately prior to admission to an acute or private psychiatric hospital, as represented by a code.

Context:Help on this term

The Australian Health Ministers' Advisory Council Health Targets and Implementation Committee (1988) identified socioeconomic status as the most important factor explaining health differentials in the Australian population. The committee recommended that national health statistics routinely identify the various groups of concern. This requires routine recording in all collections of indicators of socioeconomic status. In order of priority, these would be: employment status, income, occupation and education.

Collection and usage attributes

Collection methods:Help on this term

In practice, this metadata item and current or last occupation could probably be collected with a single question, as is done in Western Australia:


Occupation?

For example:

  • housewife or home duties
  • pensioner miner
  • tree feller
  • retired electrician
  • unemployed trades assistant
  • child
  • student
  • accountant

However, for national reporting purposes it is preferable to distinguish these two data items logically.
