Attention: Chiefs of Staff and News Editors Statistician's Report gives a generational view on Australia A Picture of the Nation: the Statistician's Report on the 2006 Census is being released next Thursday by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The Statistician's Report examines contemporary issues in Australian society with the sort of depth only made possible by the analysis of a centuries worth of population census figures. The report looks at Australian society through two different filters - generational groups (birth cohorts such as Baby Boomers, Generation X and Y or the iGeneration) and life-cycle groups (people in similar situations such as one parent families, lone persons, families with and without children) - to discover the changes over time. Subjects covered in The Statistician's Report include family and living arrangements, skills shortages, cultural diversity, work, economic resources and housing. Each chapter contains a broad overview and a number of feature articles about specific social issues.
