Labour Force Status and Other Characteristics of Migrants
| Page tools: | ||
NAME OF ORGANISATION The Labour Force Status and Other Characteristics of Migrants survey provides data on the labour force status and other characteristics of persons who migrated to Australia, as adults, after 1980 and who obtained permanent residency status.
The data is used to monitor the labour market experience of migrants and to assess whether policy outcomes are required, to assist in policy analysis related to the provision of services to particular groups, and in policy work such as eligibility for benefits. The information collected enables an assessment of the labour market experience of this group of migrants. 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.
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 The Labour Force Status and Other Characteristics of Migrants topic provides information on persons who migrated to Australia as adults (aged 18 and over) and relates this to their participation in the labour force. It provides information on migrants' labour force status. Main outputs Information released in publication format (ABS Cat.
