Comments: | The most recent data for 2014 reporting is 2011 Census. Data sources for this measure are:
The baseline report reported data from the 2006 Census as the supplementary data collection. Baseline year for NIRA target (Halve the gap in employment outcomes within a decade) is 2008; baseline year for this measure is 2006. Two Census data specifications are provided. The second specification is designed to allow for comparisons to be made with survey data. The survey data, unlike the census data, excludes people living in non-private dwellings, members of the permanent defence forces and members of foreign representation. Data disaggregated by remoteness area were not available for reporting during the 2013 reporting cycle. |
