General Social Survey (cat. no. 4159.0)
To be released on 18 December, 2003 the first General Social Survey (cat. no. 4159.0) brings together a wide range of information which is linked in ways not previously available. The focus is on the relationships between characteristics from different areas of social concern, rather than in-depth information about a particular field.
Topics include health, housing, education, work, income, financial stress, broad assets and liabilities, transport, family and community, and crime. Summary tables provide an overview for different population groups and selected themes. More detailed cross classified tables also cover selected themes. A range of information not previously available from household surveys for smaller states, is also provided.
