Comments: | NO NEW DATA FOR 2012 REPORTING. Data sources for this indicator are:
The baseline report reported data from the 2006 Census as the main data collection and data from the 2008 NATSISS (Indigenous) and 2008 SEW (non-Indigenous) as the supplementary data collection. The next available data source will be the 2011-12 NATSIHS for the Indigenous population. For persons 'with' a non-school qualification:
For persons 'working towards' a non-school qualification:
At this stage, The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) advises that information is only available on qualification levels for those who have completed studies (not those who are currently studying). Therefore, the ABS recommended restricting the definition for baseline reporting accordingly to those who have completed Certificate Level III or above, and those currently studying a non-school qualification. 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 2006; target year is 2018. |
