Cyclone Babies Study Queensland
No full textAs climate change remains a pressing global concern and people continue to be affected by natural disasters it is important to improve our understanding of how these stressful experiences affect people. This study explores the impact cyclone disasters in Queensland would have on pregnant women and their births. Hospital data shows birth patterns for the whole population, but a mother’s experiences of stressful events can vary between different mothers. This study looks to better understand a mother’s experiences and the impact of cyclones on her health and the health of her babies. An online survey will be used to capture the experiences of women pregnant during cyclone disasters by collecting individual characteristics, personal stories. Participants can also choose to take part in a more detailed in person interview to capture anything not covered in the online survey.
We expect that this research will improve what we know about how mothers are different in their experience of natural disasters. Each mother’s data is important for finding out what local and personal factors can affect health outcomes and climate resilience and recovery. Data provided will add to growing work on how climate change and associated natural disasters can affect our population’s health and welfare. This information will better inform mothers, decision makers and healthcare workers on appropriate disaster risk management and policy
Wave 2 of the Longitudinal Survey of Retrenched Automotive Workers
No full textThis dataset presents the results of the Wave 2 of the Longitudinal Workers Survey of Retrenched 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 2 had participated in the Wave 1 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
Australian Demographic Databank (ADDB)
No full textThe Australian Demographic Databank (ADDB) was created in the 1970s and 1980s by scholars in the Research School of Social Sciences at the Australian National University. It was compiled using national data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and covers the years 1921 to 1981. The database comprises population counts and demographic events by marital status, sex and single year of age from 0 to 108+. These events include deaths, marriages, divorces, arrivals and departures. Additionally, widowhood is an event for married individuals, classified by age and sex. Births are classified only by age of mother. The original ADDB files were lost over time. The current databank is a reformatted digitisation of the data contained in three printed volumes of tables produced by HP Brown, AR Hall, S Krishnamoorthy and B Derrick.
Demographic Events 1921-1981: Arrivals, Departures, Deaths, Death of Spouse, Marriages and Divorces, and Births. Births are classified by sex and age of mother in single years of age (15, 16, ..., 49). All other events are classified by sex and single years of age (0, 1, 2, ..., 108+). Except for Births and Death of Spouse, each event is classified by marital status (Single, Married, Widowed, Divorced).
Population 1921-1981 by single years of age (0, 1,2,......, 108+), sex and marital status (Single, Married, Widowed, Divorced)
