NEXT PHASES OF ESA The ABS is proposing to review the 2013 list of ESA for Australia after three years, with future reviews to occur every three to five years to ensure that the list remains relevant. The timing of the initial review is intended to allow for advancements in other complementary whole of government initiatives to be incorporated, to allow for refinements to be applied based on the outcomes of the subsequent phases of the initiative, and to allow for changes in the demand for statistical information that inevitably occurs over time. There are some emerging fields of statistics that are currently under conceptual development, nationally and internationally, which have the potential to be considered for inclusion once their uses are further established. Some specific examples that arose during the consultation process, which are expected to still be relevant when the next review of the list of ESA for Australia is undertaken, include statistics relating to governance, subjective wellbeing and the impact of the evolving digital economy on all aspects of Australian society. In the meantime, ABS will work with stakeholders to continue to progress the next phases of ESA. Document Selection These documents will be presented in a new window.
