APPENDIX Populations

DATA AVAILABLE ON REQUEST

The ABS has a range of data available on request from the Retirement and Retirement Intentions 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 2016–17 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 16–24A. Populations 1–15A relate to the Barriers and Incentives to Labour Force Participation topic (cat. no. 6239.0) alongside which this survey was run.
