The 2020 United States census collected information on second homes (indirectly) as a by-product of its enumeration strategy. keywords: address; arrangements; australia; census; data; homes; living; population; residence cache: aps-75.pdf plain text: aps-75.txt item: #46 of 65 id: aps-76 author: Davies, Amanda; Prout Quicke, Sarah title: Population mobility, ‘usual residence’ and the census: the case of Australia’s grey nomads date: 2021-05-30 words: 4357 flesch: 40 summary: These retirement migrations, involving a permanent one-way move from one residence to another, are relatively easy to infer from census population data. This includes a diverse range of sub-population groups: those experiencing secondary homelessness1; seasonal labourers; backpackers; highly mobile Indigenous peoples; long- distance commuters; travelling show families and workers; permanent house-sitters, and; grey nomads (the focus of this paper). keywords: abs; australia; census; davies; grey; home; nomads; population; residence; studies cache: aps-76.pdf plain text: aps-76.txt item: #47 of 65 id: aps-77 author: Haslam McKenzie, Fiona title: Why recording workforce mobility matters date: 2021-05-30 words: 3655 flesch: 33 summary: Nonetheless, indicative estimates of LDC populations are developed by calculating the differences between Place of Usual Residence and Place of Work census counts (ABS 2012; KPMG for the Minerals Council of Australia 2013) for specific ABS spatial units at given points in time. Hugo and Harris 2013) and some of the shortcomings of inadequate or inaccurate data highlighted in this work certainly applies to LDC host communities. keywords: australia; communities; haslam; ldc; mckenzie; population; regional; western; work; workforce cache: aps-77.pdf plain text: aps-77.txt item: #48 of 65 id: aps-79 author: Botha, Ferdi; de New, John title: Proposal of a short form self-reported financial wellbeing scale for inclusion in the 2026 Census date: 2021-05-30 words: 2903 flesch: 48 summary: Developing a short form version of the Commonwealth Bank– Melbourne Institute reported financial wellbeing scale.

However, for the purposes of this article, a main point to note is that ‘sex’, ‘gender’, and ‘sexual identity’ are terms that have particular shared meanings and distinctions, which need to inform the framing of gender and sexual identity questions. keywords: australian; census; data; gender; identity; population; questions; sex cache: aps-80.pdf plain text: aps-80.txt item: #51 of 65 id: aps-81 author: Stevens, Catriona ; Fozdar, Farida title: Ethnicity, race or nation?

Miri Song (2018) has argued that racial classification remains vital for academics and policy makers to understand racial difference and mixing. keywords: australia; categories; census; classification; fozdar; population; question; race cache: aps-81.pdf plain text: aps-81.txt item: #52 of 65 id: aps-82 author: Allen, Liz title: Understanding ethnicity in contemporary Australia using the census date: 2021-05-30 words: 4293 flesch: 40 summary: While no guarantees can be made to ensure ethnicity data (or census data more broadly) is not misused in the interpretation and use by the public, the proposed census additions do not make people more vulnerable to discrimination than the current census questions. There is a persistent fear, particularly among marginalised groups, that census data might be used to identify and discriminate against minority and vulnerable groups (Price 2016). keywords: abs; ancestry; australian; census; data; ethnic; ethnicity; identity; population; question cache: aps-82.pdf plain text: aps-82.txt item: #53 of 65 id: aps-83 author: Temple, Jeromey; Sousa , Tanara ; Williams, Ruth; Stiles, Jay; Brooke, Libby; Knight, Josh title: Understanding survey data available for researchers working in ageing: the CEPAR Metadata Database on Ageing date: 2021-05-30 words: 4204 flesch: 48 summary: For stage one, public repositories of Australian sample survey data were searched with the following inclusion criteria: sample survey data, unit-record files, publicly available, collected in 2010 or later and data related to participants aged 45 years and over.

This complicated history and neglect of the unique data needs of Indigenous peoples has resulted in a sustained undercount of Indigenous peoples in the census (Andrews 2018; Markham & Biddle 2018; Taylor & Biddle 2010). keywords: aboriginal; australian; census; data; indigenous; islander; nations; peoples; population; question; strait; studies; taylor; torres cache: aps-89.pdf plain text: aps-89.txt item: #57 of 65 id: aps-9 author: Wilson, Tom; Taylor, Andrew title: Alternative methods of determining the number of House of Representatives seats for Australia’s territories date: 2017-11-19 words: 5382 flesch: 52 summary: Key words Commonwealth Electoral Act; Constitution; House of Representatives; Australia; seat entitlements; population projections; Northern Territory; Australian Capital Territory.
