South Aussies are older and earning less, ABS finds
SOUTH Australians are earning less than their interstate counterparts and the workforce is ageing rapidly, an ABS snapshot of the nation has found.
The study - A Picture of the Nation - has been compiled by the Australian Bureau of Statistics following the 2006 census.
The study says South Australia is under-represented in higher income regions across Australia.
Of the 16 regions across the state, only one was classified as high-income.
Workers in the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory were found to be earning the highest incomes.
The study also raised concerns about high youth unemployment in South Australia, naming Whyalla in South Australia with a youth unemployment rate of 16.5 per cent and Port Pirie with a rate of 16.6 per cent.
The study also warned of South Australia's low rates of population growth in the 25 years to 2006.
"Losses due to interstate migration, primarily of young people, have resulted in older populations with lower proportions of people of child-bearing age," the study says.
In relation to education, the study found 17 per cent of South Australian students were attending non-government schools.
In relation to volunteering, the study named Jamestown and Crystal Brook in SA as having the state's highest volunteering rates.
Nationally, the study found:
THE proportion of the population living in rural areas fell from 42 per cent in 1911, to 12 per cent in 2006.
WOMEN have closed the gap in university qualifications - with more women than men in Generation X and Y holding a Bachelor degree or higher (28% compared with 21% in 2006).
THE number of people working part-time more than doubled between 1986 and 2006, from 1.2 million to 2.7 million.
AUSTRALIANS are living longer, with the proportion of older Australians aged 65 and over increasing from 4 per cent in 1901 to 13 per cent in 2006.
IN 2006, one in 10 people in Australia were living alone. |
