Career Experience Survey
The survey is conducted in both urban and rural areas in all states and territories, but since 1997 excludes persons living in certain remote and sparsely settled parts of Australia. The exclusion of these persons only has a minor impact on any aggregate estimates that are produced for individual States and Territories, with the exception of the Northern Territory.

METHOD OF COLLECTION Career Experience Survey is a supplementary survey to the Labour Force Survey. Information is collected from a responsible adult on behalf of household members. Interviews are conducted over the phone by trained interviewers. The sample is restricted to no more than half of the LFS sample and includes approximately 35,000 persons. TIMING OF COLLECTION Reference Period November. Frequency of Collection The next collection is planned for 2008. Historical Data The survey was conducted in 1993, 1996, 1998, and 2002 Comparison between the surveys is possible, however, a number of changes need to be taken into account. In 1998 different industry and occupation classifications were used a number of data items were amended and a new classification of education, the Australian Standard Classification of Education (ASCED),was introduced. In 2001, the ABS Classification of Qualifications (ABSCQ) was replaced by ASCED, a new national standard classification which can be applied to all sectors of the Australian education system including schools, vocational education and training, and higher education. The ASCED comprises two classifications: Level of Education and Field of Education. GO TO CONTENTS OF THE DIRECTORY OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING STATISTICS GO TO DATA SOURCES
