THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF SOCIAL STATISTICS

Social statistics provide a depth and breadth of information within identified areas of interest. The information is drawn from a wide range of ABS surveys and through the use of administrative data collected by other government agencies.

Social statistics provide information about the characteristics of people, families and the community. They are used by state and federal government to inform policy, and by academics, students, and researchers to analyse areas of concern.

Social statistics cover a wide range of areas of interest, including:

• Ageing
• Census
• Children and Youth
• Crime and Justice
• Culture
• Sport and Physical Recreation
• Demography
• Disability and Carers
• Education and Training
• Family and Community
• Health
• Housing
• Indigenous
• Labour
• Migrant and Ethnicity
• Personal, Family and Household Finances
• Social Capital
