Work Uncertainties and Futures in the Regions: Implications for Jobs, Work and Employment

In accordance with the document, Provisional Data to be Collected and its Analytical Uses, August 2018, this report sets out key data on the regions selected for study by the Regional Australia Institute. The data covers the demographic, labour force, employment (industry and occupation), highest educational attainment of employed persons and an index of socio-economic advantage and disadvantage. This data is based on the Place of Residence (PoR) which records the characteristics of persons based on their usual place of residence rather than their actual location on the night of the 2016 census. Other data on occupational and industry structure of employment is also provided based on Place of Work (PoW) for the selected regions. Comparing the industry and occupation structure of PoR and PoW permits an approximate evaluation of the extent to which the skills of employed persons resident within a given region match the skills of jobs within the same region.
