| Short name: | PI 14b-Level of workforce participation (survey data), 2015 |
| METEOR identifier: | 579106 |
| 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| Indicator set: | National Indigenous Reform Agreement (2015) Indigenous, Superseded 18/11/2015 |
| 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 |
Collection and usage attributes | |
| Population group age from: | 15 years |
|---|---|
| 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 employed people aged 15–64 years. For b) Number of unemployed people 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 aged 15–64 years For b) Total number of people in the labour force aged 15–64 years |
| Denominator data elements: | |
| Disaggregation: | Disaggregation: National and state/territory by remoteness area by Indigenous status. For a) only: National and state/territory, by remoteness area by Indigenous status, by type of employment (CDEP, non-CDEP, total). |

| Comments: | The most recent survey data for 2015 reporting is the ABS 2012-13 AATSIHS. Data sources for this indicator are:
The baseline report presented data from the 2008 NATSISS (Indigenous) and 2008 SEW (non-Indigenous) as the main data collection. The 2014 report presented data from the NATSIHS component of the 2012-13 AATSIHS and the matched 2012-13 SEW. Prior to 2010, the Survey of Work and Education (SEW) did not include people living in very remote areas. From 2010 onwards, the SEW includes people living in very remote areas except discrete Indigenous communities. Whilst a closing of the scope gap, this may continue to affect the comparability of results. Prior to 2010, the SEW did not include the remoteness variable. Therefore, a non-Indigenous comparator for remoteness for the 2008 NATSISS is not reported. 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. |
