DATA AVAILABLE ON REQUEST
The ABS has a range of data available on request from the Barriers and Incentives to Labour Force Participation topic. This section lists the populations which are used in the publication. Full details of the data items are available on the ABS website in an Excel spreadsheet, under the Downloads section (B&I and R&RI 2014–15 Data Items List).
The population(s) for a particular data item refers to the persons in the survey to whom the data relates. Where alternative output categories are available for the same data item, these are shown and the data item name is followed by a bracketed numeral (e.g. country of birth (2)).
Note: The populations for this topic are numbered from 1–15A. Populations 16–24A relate to the Retirement and Retirement Intentions topic (cat. no. 6238.0) alongside which this survey was run.
