Australian Longitudinal Survey, 1991: Wave 7, Level 2 (Area Sample)

This is the seventh wave of the youth area sample of the Australian Longitudinal Survey (ALS). (See also SSDA Studies No. 377,410, and 491 for details of the four waves of the ALS list sample. The first six waves of the ALS area sample constitute SSDA Studies No. 413, 421, 489, 542, 607 and 608). The 1991 wave consisted of 2623 interviews. The survey aims mainly at providing data on the dynamics of the youth labour market, and in particular to address questions which are not readily covered with available sources of cross sectional data. Labour market variables include job history, job search behaviour, job training and transition from school/study to work. Background variables and topics related to the main labour market theme include education, occupation and health. Basic demographic variables include age, sex, size of household, country of birth, racial origin, parental education and occupation, spouse's education, religion, income and whether resident in an urban or rural area.
