NAME OF COLLECTION
Retrenchment and Redundancy
OVERVIEW
The Retrenchment and Redundancy Survey was first conducted in 1997 and again in July 2001. The survey collected information on the labour force status and other characteristics of persons who had been retrenched or made redundant in the three year period prior to 30 June in the survey year. The scope of the survey was persons aged 18–64 years.
Results from the survey provide information on the employment consequences of structural change in the economy, and are used for policy development and planning of services to workers who have been retrenched or made redundant.
Data items collected by the survey are capable of being cross classified with Data Items Relevant to Migrants and Ethnicity.
This Survey is conducted as part of the Monthly Population Survey, which comprises the Labour Force Survey and, in most months, a supplementary survey topic.
The ABS does not plan to conduct this survey again. Information on this topic is also available from the two-yearly Labour Mobility Survey.
