5 KNOWLEDGE BASED ECONOMY AND SOCIETY FRAMEWORK AND INDICATORS

ABS is developing a statistical framework for measuring the Knowledge-based Economy and Society. We expect to publish a Discussion Paper on the framework in August 2002.

Following release of the Discussion Paper, we are hoping to receive feedback on whether the framework is considered by the expert community to be conceptually and methodologically sound, as well as whether the proposed indicators are appropriate.

No final decision has yet been made on dissemination of information from the framework. A publishing strategy will be included in the Discussion Paper and feedback on the strategy would be appreciated.

Please contact Sheridan Roberts (sheridan.roberts@abs.gov.au) if you would like more information or would like to be alerted to the release of the Discussion Paper.
