Identification of barriers to women returning to work. Scope
Women aged 18-59 years (excluding full-time students under 25 years of age) who are usual residents of private dwellings and caravan parks except:
1. members of the permanent defence forces; 2. certain diplomatic personnel of overseas governments, customarily excluded from census and estimated populations; 3. overseas residents in Australia; and 4. members of non-Australian defence forces (and their dependants) stationed in Australia.
Coverage

Persons who are away from their usual residence for six weeks or less at the time of interview are enumerated at their usual residence (relevant information may be obtained from other usual residents present at the time of the survey) Conceptual framework Information was collected for females aged 18-59 years excluding full-time students aged under 25 years.
