Persons Who Re-entered the Labour Force
| Page tools: | ||
NAME OF ORGANISATION The Persons Who Re-entered the Labour Force survey collects information on the number and characteristics of re-entrants and their reasons for returning to the labour force. The survey was last run in 1995, after which it was discontinued due to low user demand. The survey is useful for examining labour market flows. It is used by agencies in labour market policy formation and for forecasting purposes. The data can be used to test whether there is a greater propensity for migrants to become discouraged during economic downturn. This survey is conducted as part of the Monthly Population Survey, which comprises the Labour Force Survey and, in most months, a supplementary survey topic.
SCOPE - Labour Force Survey The Labour Force Survey includes all persons aged 15 and over except: From July 1993 Jervis Bay Territory is also excluded from the scope of the survey. Before July 1993 it was included in estimates for the Australian Capital Territory.
SCOPE - Persons Who Had Re-entered the Labour Force Survey The scope of this survey was the same as that used for the Labour Force Survey (above), except that it is restricted to persons who had re-entered the labour force at some time in the previous 12 months. Students at boarding school, some patients in hospitals and sanatoriums and inmates of reformatories, goals, etc., persons aged 15 to 20 still at school were also excluded.
From July 1997, all supplementary surveys excluded persons in remote and sparsely settled areas of Australia. The exclusion of these persons has only a minor effect on estimates for individual States or Territories.
COVERAGE - Labour Force Survey In the Labour Force Survey, coverage rules are applied which aim to ensure that each person is associated with only one dwelling, and hence has only one chance of selection. The chance of a person being enumerated at two separate dwellings in the one survey is considered to be negligible.
Persons who are away from their usual residence for six weeks or less at the time of interview are enumerated at their usual residence (relevant information may be obtained from other usual residents present at the time of the survey). Conceptual framework Data is collected on the number and characteristics of persons returning to the labour force and their reason for doing so. Main outputs Results of the survey including data tables and analysis were released in publication format, and include the following tables:
