Short name: | AHPF PI 1.1.2–Educational attainment for non-school qualification at Certificate III level or above, 2020 |
METEOR identifier: | 728287 |
Registration status: | Health, Superseded 11/07/2023 |
Description: | The proportion of people aged 25–64 with non-school qualifications at Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Certificate level III or above. |
Rationale: | Educational attainment, as a social determinant of health, plays a key role in determining socioeconomic status. Educational attainment is associated with better health throughout life. Education equips people to achieve stable employment, have a secure income, live in adequate housing, provide for families and cope with ill health by assisting them to make informed health care choices. An individual's education level affects not only their own health, but that of their family, particularly dependent children. |

Comments: | Most recent data available for 2020 AHPF reporting: 2017 The most recent survey data for this indicator are:
Note that similar indicators appear within the National Indigenous Reform Agreement (NIRA) and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework (ATSI HPF). There are, however, slight variations between the definitions used in these frameworks, for example the age range and whether it is 'with' a qualification or 'with or working towards' the qualification. People whose level of non-school qualification is determined to be certificate-level but is not able to be further defined (that is, coded as Certificate nfd) are assumed to have attained a qualification below Certificate level III and are therefore excluded from the numerator for this indicator. People whose level of non-school qualification cannot be determined are assumed to have attained a qualification below Certificate level III and are therefore excluded from the numerator for this indicator. The denominator (total 25–64 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. |
