WELCOME
Welcome to the second edition of Age Matters, the quarterly newsletter from the ABS National Ageing Statistics Unit. This edition focuses on data emerging from the 2001 Census, and a range of other new and existing ABS data sources which have an ageing component likely to be of interest to ageing researchers and policy makers. Interested readers are also invited to visit the Ageing theme page on the ABS website for links to ageing-relevant ABS datasets and other web sites (see Where can you find us? for details). Feedback or suggestions regarding anything appearing in this newsletter are welcomed.
