SELECTED ABS RELEASES General 1220.0 - ANZSCO - Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations, First Edition, 2006 The Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) is the product of a development program undertaken jointly by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Statistics New Zealand (Statistics NZ) and the Australian Government Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) for use in the collection, publication and analysis of occupation statistics. ANZSCO replaces the Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO) Second Edition and the New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (NZSCO) 1999 used in Australia and New Zealand, respectively. ANZSCO is intended to provide an integrated framework for storing, organising and reporting occupation-related information in both statistical and client-oriented applications, such as matching job seekers to job vacancies and providing career information. The use of ANZSCO will result in improved comparability of occupation statistics produced by the two countries. 1351.0.55.015 - Research Paper: Socio-economic Indexes for Areas: Introduction, Use and Future Directions, Sep 2006 The Socio-economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) are measures which summarise a range of socio-economic variables associated with disadvantage. These indexes are compiled at the Census Collection District (CD) level, and may be used to rank CDs according to the general socio-economic well-being of residents. This paper discusses three important features of SEIFA. First, SEIFA scores are a measure of relative disadvantage. Second, SEIFA scores are areal level indexes and should not be presumed to apply to all individuals living within the area. Third, SEIFA scores are calculated at the CD level and great care is required when interpreting scores which have been aggregated to larger geographical areas. Examples of the use of SEIFA to analyse the distribution of relative disadvantage within larger areas are provided. Using data from the National Health Survey 2004-05, shows that SEIFA scores correlate with the proportion of people living in an area who report poor health, obesity and other health risk factors.
