DESE - Labour Market - Population by Age Group (SA4) December 2021

This dataset presents data on the population of a region by age group for the Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4) regions as of December 2021. The boundaries for this dataset follow the 2016 edition of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).\n\nThe Australian Department of Education, Skills and Employment publishes a range of labour market data on its [Labour Market Information Portal](http://lmip.gov.au). The data provided includes unemployment rate, employment rate, participation rate, youth unemployment rate, unemployment duration, population by age group and employment by industry and occupation.\n\n AURIN has spatially enabled the [original data](https://lmip.gov.au/default.aspx?LMIP/Downloads/ABSLabourForceRegion). Data Source: ABS Labour Force Survey, 12 month average, December 2021. The ABS advises that analysis of regional labour force estimates should typically be based on annual averages, which are important for understanding the state of the labour market and providing medium and long-term signals. The application of annual averages, however, is unlikely to accurately or quickly detect turning points in the regional data during periods of significant change (such as during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic). Original data at the ABS Statistical Area 4 (SA4) level can be found in [Table 16](https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/6291.0.55.001Apr%202020?OpenDocument). The region named "Western Australia - Outback (North and South)" in the original data has been omitted as it did not match a region within the SA4 2016 ASGS.

本数据集提供了2021年12月时点下，澳大利亚统计区域分级4（Statistical Area Level 4，SA4）范围内分年龄组的区域人口统计数据。本数据集所采用的区域边界遵循2016版澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard，ASGS）。

澳大利亚教育、技能与就业部在其[劳动力市场信息门户](http://lmip.gov.au)发布了一系列劳动力市场统计数据，涵盖失业率、就业率、劳动参与率、青年失业率、失业持续时长、分年龄组人口数据，以及分行业与分职业的就业数据。

AURIN已对[原始数据](https://lmip.gov.au/default.aspx?LMIP/Downloads/ABSLabourForceRegion)完成空间化适配处理。本数据集的数据来源为：澳大利亚统计局（Australian Bureau of Statistics，ABS）劳动力调查，截至2021年12月的12个月移动平均值。澳大利亚统计局提示，区域劳动力估算分析通常应基于年度平均值，此类数据对于研判劳动力市场现状、提供中长期趋势信号具有重要意义。但采用年度平均值通常无法在重大变革时期（如新冠疫情暴发初期）精准且快速地捕捉区域数据的转折点。澳大利亚统计局统计区域分级4（SA4）级别的原始数据可参见[表16](https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/6291.0.55.001Apr%202020?OpenDocument)。原始数据中名为“西澳大利亚州——内陆（北部与南部）”的区域因与2016版ASGS划定的SA4区域不匹配，已被剔除。
