Families, Incomes and Jobs, Volume 4: A Statistical Report on Waves 1 to 6 of the HILDA Survey

The HILDA Survey aims to provide a new type of social statistics for Australia, and to investigate new methods of measuring change and social trends. Volume 4 of the Statistical Report is based on the first six waves of data collected by the HILDA Survey and comprises two parts. Part A contains short articles that provide an annual update of changes in key aspects of life in Australia, covering the four main areas of HILDA, namely:

• Households and family life;
• Incomes and economic wellbeing;
• Labour market outcomes; and
• Life satisfaction, health and wellbeing.

Part B of the Report contains feature articles on a variety of topics, including a number of articles utilising the household wealth data collected in 2006. Also included are articles by guest authors Helen Berry, Jennifer Welsh, Michael Kortt and Andrew Leigh.
