Family Two or more related persons, one of whom is at least 15 years of age, who are related by blood, marriage (registered or de facto), adoption, step or fostering; and who are usually resident in the same household. The basis of a family is formed by identifying the presence of a couple relationship, lone parent-child relationship or other blood relationship. Some households will therefore contain more than one family. Further details on the determination of family relationships are given in Australian Labour Market Statistics (cat. no. 6105.0). Full-time status of weeks worked during the year Any weeks of the year that a person perceived that they had worked full-time. In the labour force at some time during the year Persons who had worked or looked for work for one week or more during the year. In the labour force for the whole year Persons who had either worked or looked for work every week for the whole year. In the labour force for part of the year Persons who had either worked or looked for work for one week or more during the year, but had some weeks when neither activity was undertaken. Level of highest educational attainment Level of highest educational attainment identifies the highest achievement a person has attained in any area of study. It is defined as the highest educational attainment a person has achieved, and is not a measurement of relative importance of different fields of study. Higher levels of education are typically characterised by the greater significance of theoretical learning and greater complexity of factual and practical learning. It is derived from a person's highest year of school completed and level of highest non-school educational qualification. The highest qualification completed by the respondent is classified according to the Australian Standard Classification of Education (ASCED) (cat. no. 1272.0). See Appendix 1 for further information. Level of highest non-school qualification Non-school qualifications are awarded for educational attainments other than those of pre-primary, primary or secondary education. They include qualifications at the Post Graduate Degree Level, Master Degree Level, Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate Level, Bachelor Degree Level, Advanced Diploma and Diploma Level, and Certificates I, II, III and IV levels. Non-school qualifications may be attained concurrently with school qualifications. In this publication, prior to 2003 those who were still at school were not asked their level of highest non-school qualification. Looked for work at some time during the year Persons who looked for work for one week or more during the year. Main English-speaking countries Main English-speaking countries are the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, South Africa, the United States of America and New Zealand. Mean duration of time spent looking for work Obtained by dividing the aggregate number of weeks a group has been looking for work by the number of persons in that group. Median duration of time spent looking for work The duration which divides persons who looked for work into two equal groups, one comprising persons whose time spent looking for work during the year is above the median, and the other, persons whose time spent looking is below it.
