Summary
Provides counts of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander persons ages 15+ based on labor force status, by age group and sex. Labor force status is a derived variable that classifies all people ages 15+ as employed working full-time, part-time, or away from work; unemployed looking for full-time work; looking for part-time work; or not in the labor force. The category "Employed, away from work" also includes persons who stated they worked but who did not state the number of hours worked. Labor force status is derived using responses to questions on full/part-time job, job last week, hours worked, looking for work, and availability to start work. The Australian Census of Population and Housing collects a range of demographic, social, and economic information on Census Night. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Profile provides detailed data on the Indigenous population of Australia. The Indigenous status of a person is determined by their response to the ABS Standard Indigenous Question, which asks whether each person is of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin. The term "origin," when used in the context of the ABS Standard Indigenous Question, relates to a person's Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent and for some, but not all, their cultural identity. Torres Strait Islanders are the descendants of the Indigenous people of the Torres Strait, between the tip of Cape York and Papua New Guinea. All persons and dwellings in Australia and the external Territories of Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) islands on Census Night are counted, excluding diplomats, their families and diplomatic dwellings, and visitors from overseas who are not required to undergo migration formalities, such as foreign crews on ships. Visitors to Australia are counted regardless of how long they have been in the country or how long they plan to stay. Australian residents out of the country on census night are out of the scope of the census. Results provide a reliable basis to estimate the population for each state and territory and local government area for electoral purposes and distribution of government funds. The census also provides the characteristics of the Australian population and its housing for small areas and small population groups to support the planning, administration, and policy development activities of governments, business, and other users. Following the 1961 Census, Australia has had a census taken every five years. Statistics are available for the nation as a whole, and for states, territories, Statistical Area Levels 1-4, and additional subnational geographies.
