| Comments: | No new data are available for this indicator. Most recent data available for the 2016–17 reporting cycle are for 2014-15. The most recent survey data for this indicator are:
The baseline report presented data from the 2008 NATSISS (Indigenous) and 2008 SEW (non-Indigenous) as the supplementary data collection. For people 'with' a non-school qualification:
For people 'working towards' a non-school qualification:
The denominator (total 20–64 year old population) excludes people whose level of non-school qualification or attendance status was not stated. Prior to 2010, the SEW did not include people living in very remote areas. From 2010 onwards, the SEW includes people living in very remote areas excluding discrete Indigenous communities. 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 the Council of Australian Governments' National Indigenous Reform Agreement target (Halve the gap in employment outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians within a decade) is 2008; baseline year for this measure is 2008; target year is 2018. The term ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’ is preferred when referring to the separate Indigenous peoples of Australia. However, the term ‘Indigenous’ is used interchangeably with ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander’ in this indicator set to assist readability. |
