PROGRESS OF AUSTRALIANS

The level of education attained by a particular population group can be an indicator of their social capability or their socioeconomic status, and may help explain low or high levels of wellbeing in other areas of social concern.

Progress indicators for Education and training show different levels and rates of change across different population groups within Australia. For example, there are differences in the educational outcomes of older and younger Australians, men and women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, migrants, and state or territory residents.
