Retirement Planning, Saving and Attitudes Survey
No full textThe Retirement Income Review was commissioned to 'establish a fact base of the current retirement income system' to improve the outcomes it delivers for Australians. This report contributed to the work of the Review by presenting results from an online survey about retirement planning, saving and attitudes. Specifically, the survey sought to answer questions under four broad themes:
(1) Retirement expectations, and attitudes towards the 'retirement income system': When do people expect to retire? Do they expect to have a better lifestyle in retirement than their parents? Do they expect the Age Pension will still be available when they retire? If so, do they expect the Age Pension will maintain its current value?
(2) Retirement planning and saving: How much do people plan for retirement generally? If they do, what factors do they consider regarding how much they will need, how much to save, and where to invest?
(3) Voluntary superannuation contributions: How many people make voluntary contributions? How much do they contribute? And why? In particular, why don’t more people make more voluntary contributions? Are they aware of tax concessions? And how much do tax concessions influence decisions to make voluntary contributions?
(4) Financial advice: Where do people get their advice? How does advice influence retirement saving decisions

Australian Social Survey International-ESS (AUSSI-ESS)
No full textThe European Social Survey (ESS) is an academically driven cross-national survey that has been conducted across Europe since its establishment in 2001. Every two years, face-to-face interviews are conducted with newly selected, cross-sectional samples. The survey measures the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviour patterns of diverse populations in more than thirty nations.
The Australian National University (ANU) conducted the ESS in an Australian context, with data collection undertaken by the Social Research Centre’s probability-based panel, Life in Australia™. This will allow cross-continent comparisons to the European countries that participate to better understand the similarities and differences between countries

Growing Up in Australia: Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) Release 9.1 C1 (Waves 1-9)
No full textGrowing Up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) is a major study following the development of approximately 10,000 young people and their families from all parts of Australia. It is conducted in partnership between the Department of Social Services, the Australian Institute of Family Studies and the Australian Bureau of Statistics with advice provided by a consortium of leading researchers. The study began in 2003 with a representative sample of children (who are now teens and young adults) from urban and rural areas of all states and territories in Australia. The study has a multi-disciplinary base, and examines a broad range of research questions about development and wellbeing over the life course in relation to topics such as parenting, family, peers, education, child care and health. It will continue to follow participants into adulthood. The study informs social policy and is used to identify opportunities for early intervention and prevention strategies. Participating families have been interviewed every two years from 2004, and between-wave mail-out questionnaires were sent to families in 2005 (Wave 1.5), 2007 (Wave 2.5) and 2009 (Wave 3.5). The B cohort (“Baby” cohort) of around 5,000 children was aged 0–1 years in 2003–04, and the K cohort (“Kinder” cohort) of around 5,000 children was aged 4–5 years in 2003–04. Study informants include the young person, their parents (both resident and non-resident), carers and teachers. The study links to administrative databases including Medicare (Immunisation, MBS and PBS), NAPLAN, AEDC and Centrelink – with participant consent – thereby adding valuable information to supplement the data collected during fieldwork. In 2014-15, a special one-off physical health and biomarkers assessment of parent-child pairs was undertaken in the younger cohort. The cross-generational datasets from this ‘Child Health CheckPoint’ are available in the Additional Release files
Footprints in Time: The Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children, Release 11 (Waves 1-11)
No full textThe Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children (LSIC) follows the development of around 1,700 Indigenous children and their families across urban, regional and remote Australia. It is one of the largest longitudinal studies of Indigenous people worldwide.

The study collects information about parenting, family relationships, housing and neighbourhood, childhood education, child and parent health, parental education, employment and income, attitudes and aspirations, as well as culture and community. It includes two groups of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children who were aged 6 to 18 months (B cohort) and 3.5-5 years (K cohort) when the study began in 2008. Data is primarily collected via annual face-to-face interviews with Indigenous interviewers.

The Women's Electoral Lobby (WEL) History Survey - Quantitative Data
No full textWEL's history survey was conducted in 2002 at the Australian National University and funded by the Australian Research Council. 2002 marked WEL's thirtieth birthday, as well as the centenary of most women's right to vote in Australian Federal elections. The WEL History Project Team considered it as a perfect time to look back over the establishment and development of WEL, and gauge how effectively it has influenced policy and politics in the last 30 years.
A lot has been written about WEL in the press, and in popular and academic publications, some of which have reinforced myths and stereotypes about WEL and its members. One aim of the project was to break new ground by producing a book based on up-to-date research and comprehensive sources
