| METEOR identifier: | 484372 |
| Registration status: |

| Description: | There are three measures for this indicator: a) Employment to population ratio. b) Unemployment rate. c) Labour force participation rate. |
| Rationale: | Participation in employment has important consequences for living standards, social and emotional wellbeing and participation in the community. This is a key measure of the target to halve the gap in employment outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians within a decade. |
| Indicator set: | National Indigenous Reform Agreement (2013) Indigenous, Superseded 13/12/2013 |
| Outcome area: | Indigenous people of working age participate effectively in all sectors and at all levels of the labour market Indigenous, Standard 21/07/2010 |

| Population group age to: | 64 years |
| Computation description: | Presentation: Number and percentage (per 100 persons). Relative standard errors and 95% confidence intervals are calculated for proportions. Rate ratios and rate differences are calculated for Indigenous:non-Indigenous. |
| Computation: | Rate: 100 x (Numerator ÷ Denominator). Rate ratio: Indigenous rate divided by non-Indigenous rate. Rate difference: Indigenous minus non-Indigenous rate. |
| Numerator: | For a): Number of people aged 15–64 years employed. For b): Number of people unemployed aged 15–64 years. For c): Number of people aged 15–64 years in the labour force. |
| Numerator data elements: | |
| Denominator: | For a) and c) Total population of people aged 15–64 years For b) Total number of people in the labour force aged 15–64 years |

| Comments: | The most recent data for 2013 reporting is the ABS 2011 Census. No new survey data are available for 2013 reporting. Data sources for this indicator are: - NATSISS (Indigenous); NATSIHS (Indigenous); and SEW (non-Indigenous). - SEW data (non-Indigenous) averaged across 2008–09 to match 2008 NATSISS enumeration period. The baseline report reported data from the 2008 NATSISS (Indigenous) and 2008 SEW (non-Indigenous) as the main data collection. The next available data source will be the 2011-13 Australian Health Survey (2012-13 AATSIHS for the Indigenous population). Prior to 2010, the Survey of Work and Education (SEW) did not include people living in very remote areas. From 2010 onwards, the SEW does not include people living in Indigenous communities in very remote areas. Whilst a reduced scope, this may still affect the comparability of results. The size of the standard errors mean that SEW data may not be adequate for measuring change over time. Baseline year for NIRA target (Halve the gap in employment outcomes within a decade) is 2008; baseline year for this indicator is 2008; target year is 2018. |
