The paper identifies a problem with the way union membership in the HILDA Survey is measured, and as a result why union membership estimates from the HILDA Survey differ substantially from those reported each year by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. This short paper summarises the issue as well as recommends changes in the question sequence that will generate estimates in the future that are comparable to ABS estimates, as well as maintain data continuity over time. The proposed change would take effect in wave 9. Comments are very welcome and should be directed to Mark Wooden at: m.wooden@unimelb.edu.au. The paper can be downloaded here. 22 January 2009Final Call for all HILDA Publications for 2008 Annual Report The 2008 HILDA Annual Report is in the process of being finalised, so please send me any details of your 2008 HILDA data user publications if they are not already on our website.
