Comments:Help on this term

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.
