Comments: | Disaggregation: National and state/territory by engagement in work/education status, by Indigenous status Most recent data available for 2010 CRC baseline report: 2006 (Census) The Census does not provide information on level of qualification for those working towards qualification (only for those who have completed). Therefore, the data on education/training includes persons aged 18-24 engaged in education/training at any qualification level. |

The ABS is not planning on collecting these data items in future Census’s. |
Other issues caveats: | The Indigenous undercount in the Census may introduce bias into the results for Indigenous disaggregation, which may affect comparability across states and territories. |
