METEOR identifier: | 645412 |
Registration status: | Indigenous, Superseded 06/06/2017 |
Description: | There are three measures for this indicator: (a) Employment to population ratio, by Indigenous status. (b) Unemployment rate, by Indigenous status. (c) Labour force participation rate, by Indigenous status. |
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. |

Computation description: | Presentation: Number and percentage (per 100 population). Rate ratios and rate differences are calculated for comparisons between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. |
Computation: | Rate: 100 x (Numerator ÷ Denominator). Rate ratio: Indigenous rate divided by non-Indigenous rate. Rate difference: Indigenous rate minus non-Indigenous rate. |
Numerator: | For 5-yearly reporting: Measure (a) Number of employed people aged 15–64 years excluding overseas, temporary visitors and those whose Indigenous status and labour force status were not stated. Measure (b) Number of unemployed people aged 15–64 years excluding overseas, temporary visitors and those whose Indigenous status and labour force status were not stated. Measure (c) Number of people aged 15–64 years in the labour force excluding overseas, temporary visitors and those whose Indigenous status and labour force status were not stated.
For comparison with survey data: Measure (a) Number of employed people aged 15–64 years excluding those living in non-private dwellings, members of the permanent defence forces, members of foreign representations, overseas, temporary visitors and those whose Indigenous status and labour force status were not stated. Measure (b) Number of unemployed people aged 15–64 years excluding those living in non-private dwellings, members of the permanent defence forces, members of foreign representations, overseas, temporary visitors and those whose Indigenous status and labour force status were not stated. Measure (c) Number of people aged 15–64 years in the labour force excluding those living in non-private dwellings, members of the permanent defence forces, members of foreign representations, overseas, temporary visitors and those whose Indigenous status and labour force status were not stated. |

Denominator: | For 5-yearly reporting: Measure (a) Census counts of people aged 15–64 years excluding overseas, temporary visitors and those whose Indigenous status and labour force status were not stated.

Measure (c) Census counts of people aged 15–64 years excluding overseas, temporary visitors and those whose Indigenous status and labour force status were not stated.

Comments: | There are no updated data available for this cycle of reporting. The most recent data from the 2011 Census are available in the 2014 report. That report included disaggregation by remoteness. 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 between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians 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 representations. |
