DESCRIPTION

Measures of a knowledge-based economy and society, Australia 2003 (ABS cat. no. 1377.0) was a web-based publication which presented indicators for the three core dimensions of innovation and entrepreneurship, human capital, and information and communications technology, as described in the ABS Knowledge-based economy and society framework. It drew from a variety of information on knowledge-related activities. It presented indicators with a focus on national information and included time series data and selected international comparisons.
