The Australian Census Longitudinal Dataset (ACLD) is Australia's largest longitudinal dataset bringing together a 5% random sample of around one million records from the 2006 Census with corresponding records from the 2011 Census. It provides a unique opportunity for researchers and policy makers to examine pathways and transitions of population groups, such as unemployed individuals transition into the labour force. Over time, the ACLD will continue to grow as records from each new Census are linked which will further enhance its longitudinal view. The ACLD will also be augmented in the future to take account of migration and births that occur between Censuses.

This datasets presents smooth values of the number of people unemployed in Local Government Area (LGA) regions for each quarter starting December 2010 up to June 2018. The boundaries used for the dataset follow the 2018 edition of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). Small Area Labour Markets presents regional estimates of unemployment and the unemployment rate at two small area levels: For approximately 2,100 Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) Statistical Area Level 2s (SA2s), on a State/Territory and Metropolitan/Non-metropolitan basis; and For each of Australia’s 540 Local Government Areas (LGAs). The estimates in Table 1 and 2 are smoothed using a four-quarter average to minimise the variability inherent in small area estimates. A description of the methodology used to prepare the estimates in this publication is presented in the Explanatory Notes, as well as on page 43 of the PDF Publication. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. Where data values were "-" (no data provided) in the original data they have been set to null. Caution: Highly disaggregated estimates of unemployment and the unemployment rate at the SA2 and LGA level can display significant variability and should be viewed with caution. Indeed, quarter-to-quarter comparisons may not be indicative of actual movements in the labour market. It is therefore recommended that year-on-year comparisons be used.

This dataset presents the unemployment rate of the population in small regions of Australia based on the 2016 Census and aggregated following the 2016 edition of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). The data has been provided by The National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM). This indicator is the number of people unemployed, and the unemployment rate is the number of people unemployed divided by the number of people in the labour force. All indicators were extracted from the ABS Tablebuilder system using the usual residence profile. For usual residence data, the ABS moves people back to where they live, rather than using the location the data were collected (place of enumeration). Usual residence data is preferred for individual level data because it removes the effect of respondents travelling or holidaying. For more information please view the NATSEM Technical Report.

The "Expanded Jobseeker Payment and Youth Allowance - monthly profile" publication has introduced expanded reporting populations for income support recipients. As a result, the reporting population for Jobseeker Payment has changed to include recipients who are current but on zero rate of payment and those who are suspended from payment. The reporting population for Youth Allowance has changed to include those who are suspended from payment. The expanded report will replace the standard report after June 2023.

Additional data for JobSeeker Payment and Youth Allowance (other) recipients in the monthly profile includes:

• A monthly time series by rate of payment, providing details of recipients who are current on payment and in receipt of a full, part or zero rate of payment, and those who are suspended from payment (table 2)

• By work capacity status, showing those who have a partial capacity to work and those who have full capacity (table 7)

• By payment duration (table 8)

The “JobSeeker Payment and Youth Allowance recipients – monthly profile” is a monthly report, covering the Income Support payments of JobSeeker Payment and Youth Allowance (other). It also includes data on Youth Allowance (student and apprentice), Sickness Allowance and Bereavement Allowance. The report includes payment recipient numbers by demographics such as age, gender, state, earnings and Statistical Area Level 2.

The Disadvantage-Need-Risk (DNR) scores and rank are a method of identifying target populations and locations across South Australia and have been developed so that DCSI services can be planned to provide maximum support for those most in need. The DNR scores and ranks are a composite of: Disadvantage: the Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage, part of the Socio-Economic Index For Areas (SEIFA) developed by the ABS. Need (or Sentinel Indicators): For the Vulnerable Families with Children target group the Sentinel Indicators identified were: jobless families with children under 15, divorce or separation, women smoking during pregnancy, Centrelink payments, substantiated child protection notifications. For Youth at Risk target group the Sentinel Indicators were: rates of teen pregnancy, student absenteeism, young people receiving unemployment benefits, youth Justice Orders, single parent families. Risk: the proportion of the target population within the general population.

A survey of 1,500 NSW workers during August and September 2020 (2020 Remote Working Survey) and March and April 2021 (2021 Remote Working Survey), commissioned to understand workers' experiences of and attitudes to remote and hybrid working. To be eligible, respondents had to be employed NSW residents with experience of remote working in their current job. After accounting for unemployed people and those whose jobs cannot be done remotely—for example, dentists, cashiers and cleaners—the sample represents around 59 per cent of NSW workers. Workers answered questions on: • their attitudes to remote working • the amount of time they spent working remotely • their employers’ policies, practices, and attitudes • how they spent their time when working remotely • how barriers to remote working have changed • the barriers they faced to hybrid working • their expectations for future remote working

The International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) is a continuous programme of cross-national collaboration running annual surveys on topics important for the social sciences. The programme started in 1984 with four founding members - Australia, Germany, Great Britain, and the United States – and has now grown to almost 50 member countries from all over the world. As the surveys are designed for replication, they can be used for both, cross-national and cross-time comparisons. Each ISSP module focuses on a specific topic, which is repeated in regular time intervals. Please, consult the documentation for details on how the national ISSP surveys are fielded. The present study focuses on questions about work, employment and work orientations.

Das International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) ist ein länderübergreifendes, fortlaufendes Umfrageprogramm, das jährlich Erhebungen zu Themen durchführt, die für die Sozialwissenschaften wichtig sind. Das Programm begann 1984 mit vier Gründungsmitgliedern - Australien, Deutschland, Großbritannien und den Vereinigten Staaten - und ist inzwischen auf fast 50 Mitgliedsländer aus aller Welt angewachsen. Da die Umfragen auf Replikationen ausgelegt sind, können die Daten sowohl für länder- als auch für zeitübergreifende Vergleiche genutzt werden. Jedes ISSP-Modul konzentriert sich auf ein bestimmtes Thema, das in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen wiederholt wird.
