About this Release

Since early 2000, the ABS has expanded significantly the resources it devotes to analytical work. Recently the economic and social subject matter divisions of the ABS were re-organised, partly with a view to freeing resources for additional analytical work. What kinds of analyses should the ABS undertake? and how can relevance and quality be assured? Two prominent issues are:

  • the "bounds" of the ABS analysis program. What varieties of analyses are legitimate for a national statistical agency to undertake?
  • the "focus" of the ABS analysis program. What varieties of analyses would it be most fruitful for a national statistical agency to undertake?
