Being Chinese in Australia 2022 release
No full textMore than 1.2 million people of Chinese heritage live in Australia today. Their experiences are as diverse as their views; many were born in Australia, with lineages that span generations of Australian history. Others have migrated more recently from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Chinese-Australian communities have flourished and contributed to many aspects of Australian life.
The Lowy Institute’s Multiculturalism, Identity and Influence Project conducted its second nationally representative poll of Chinese-Australians at the end of 2021. Respondents were asked about their perspectives on life in Australia, and views on a wide range of issues — from foreign influence and relationships with China, to systems of government and pride in Australian life and culture. There is both continuity and divergence when these sentiments are compared to the broader Australian population, and the views of those of other diaspora communities

National Drug Strategy Household Survey, 2022-2023
No full textThe 2022–2023 National Drug Strategy Household Survey was conducted in two phases, the first between July and December of 2022 and the second between March and May 2023. The survey examines current awareness of attitudes and behaviours toward drugs and drug problems within the Australian community, focusing on respondents' personal attitudes toward drugs, knowledge of drugs and drug histories.
The survey included questions regarding respondents' personal drug and alcohol experience and behaviour, opinions on drug policy and legislation, availability of drugs and alcohol, injury and harm from drugs and alcohol, and attitudes towards the use of alcohol and other drugs. The drugs covered included: tobacco/cigarettes, e-cigarettes/vapes, alcohol, kava, pain-killers/pain-relievers and opioids, tranquillisers, heroin, methadone, inhalants, ketamine, GHB, ecstasy, hallucinogens, cocaine, methamphetamine and amphetamine, pharmaceutical stimulants, cannabis/marijuana, synthetic cannabis, other psychoactive substances, and steroids. Demographic and background variables included: state of residence, age, gender, marital status, self-assessed health status, sexuality, Indigenous status, country of birth, language spoken at home, employment status, occupation, level of education, income, index of socio-economic advantage and disadvantage, remoteness area and household composition
Stream 2 Qualitative In-depth Interviews
No full textThe second of four research streams in the Future Work, Future Communities Project is a series of qualitative interviews designed to add depth to our understanding of Stream One’s longitudinal workers survey. A further set of interviews building on the research in Stream Four's Community Surveys were conducted in 2023 to investigate the experiences of community leaders. This dataset is designed to unravel the complexities that complement the quantitative data from the longitudinal workers and community surveys. Some 73 automotive workers and 33 community leaders participated in interviews over the course of this work

The survey included questions on general knowledge about dementia; knowledge of dementia risk factors and misconceptions; engagement in actions or behaviours that can reduce the risk of developing dementia; information seeking behaviours; and community attitudes towards dementia and people living with dementia.
Demographic and background variables included: state of residence, age, sex, sexual orientation, Indigenous status, country of birth, language spoken at home, level of education, household income, and remotenes
Wave 4 of the Longitudinal Survey of Retrenched Automotive Workers
No full textThis dataset presents the results of the Wave 4 of the Longitudinal Workers Survey of Retrenched Automotive Workers. Participants in our longitudinal workers survey had jobs which were earmarked for retrenchment leading up to the closure of assembly plants operated in Australia by General Motors Holden, Toyota Motor Company, and Ford. Participant contact information was passed on to the research team at the University of South Australia by the government partners of the project. All participants in Wave 4 had participated in the Wave 1 survey and most in at least the Wave 2 or 3 survey.
The study was developed to investigate the efficacy of private and public investments in pre-retrenchment counselling and training, by collecting data to help understand: which factors affect decisions to exit or stay in the labour market; which factors improve the chances of employment; which factors shorten the spell of unemployment; and the intermittency of careers and labour branching processes
Wave 3 of the Longitudinal Survey of Retrenched Automotive Workers
No full textThis dataset presents the results of the Wave 3 of the Longitudinal Workers Survey of Retrenched Automotive Workers. Participants in our longitudinal workers survey had jobs which were earmarked for retrenchment leading up to the closure of assembly plants operated in Australia by General Motors Holden, Toyota Motor Company, and Ford. Participant contact information was passed on to the research team at the University of South Australia by the government partners of the project. Participants had provided consent for their details to be used for further communication as part of their engagement in retraining and transition services. All participants in Wave 3 had participated in the Wave 1 survey and most in Wave 2 of the survey.
The study was developed to investigate the efficacy of private and public investments in pre-retrenchment counselling and training, by collecting data to help understand:
- Which factors affect decisions to exit or stay in the labour market;
- Which factors improve the chances of employment;
- Which factors shorten the spell of unemployment; and
- The intermittency of work careers and labour ‘branching’ processes
Future Work Future Communities - Stream 4 - Community Survey
No full textLocal communities play a prominent role in bringing about appropriate responses to major shocks. This research surveys households in affected regions to ascertain the extent of indirect ‘knock-on’ impacts of the plant closures for households, as closures can create both negative and positive social impacts.
This includes families whose businesses were affected by the closures and impacts for community cohesion as people unite to rebuild their communities. The strength of local government, local leadership, geography, resource endowments and industry structure all serve as important mediating factors.
Uncertainties of the labour market give rise to feelings of helplessness, and affects the degree to which individuals look to governments or businesses to identify solutions.
This research examines the relationship between structural adjustment programs and political (dis)enfranchisement, and the degree to which individuals are aware of government assistance.
This dataset presents data collected from a 2021 Community Survey that includes perspectives from communities directly surrounding the automotive assembly plants that closed between 2016 and 2017 - Ford, Toyota, and General Motors Holden plants. It also includes the perspectives from the broader population of Melbourne and Adelaide where the assembly plants were located. This dataset includes community perspectives of leaders and leadership during periods of crisis (COVID-19) and economic restructuring (the automotive plant closures). In all, 1,755 responses were recorded
Australian Cultural Fields: National and Transnational Dynamics - Survey
No full textThe Australian Cultural Fields (ACF) questionnaire was modelled on the French
study pioneered by Pierre Bourdieu (1984). While there have been many subsequent
studies that have explored the cultural tastes and practices of particular
social groups or educational cohorts, or focused on particular cultural fields, there
have been only a few national surveys encompassing a wide range of cultural fields.
Such surveys have been conducted in Australia (Bennett et al., 1999), Britain
(Bennett et al., 2009), Denmark (Prieur et al., 2008) and Serbia (Cveticanin and
Popescu, 2011). In building on these earlier studies, the ACF survey sought to
address the distinctive socio-cultural coordinates of a settler-colonial society with
an Indigenous population asserting an increasingly strong cultural presence, and a
large and growing multicultural population with a rapidly changing composition
from mainly southern European sources of migration towards east and southern
Asia. The key innovations in questionnaire design are that, by opting for an in-depth
inquiry into patterns of consumption in the art, literary, sport, television,
heritage and music fields - but excluding other areas: film and culinary practices,
for example - we were able to go beyond questions relating to tastes for the main
genres and patterns of participation most strongly associated with those fields, to ask
our respondents whether they recognised, engaged with and, if so, liked or disliked
an extensive repertoire of named cultural items. These were further differentiated
according to whether they were international or Australian in provenance, ensuring
that the international items were spread across Europe and America with some
items from Asia. The Australian items identified for each field also included
examples of Indigenous culture available to 'mainstream Australia'.
The questions focused on the six cultural fields were followed by detailed
explorations of the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. These
included age, gender, occupation, class position and identification, level of education,
field of study and university attended for those with tertiary education, occupations of partners, levels of education for partners and parents, ethnicity and ethnic identification, country of birth, Indigenous identification, level of income,
capital holdings, housing and place of residence
