Data Highlights No.1/2014: Financial hardship in Australia

Financial hardship is measured in at least four different longitudinal surveys in Australia. The Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey collects data from a random sample of Australian households; Growing Up in Australia: the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) is a cohort study of Australian children in urban and regional households; Footprints in Time: the Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children (LSIC) is a cohort study of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families in urban, regional and remote households; and Building a New Life in Australia: the Longitudinal Study of Humanitarian Migrants (BNLA) is a survey of new humanitarian migrants to Australia, approximately half of whom arrive with children.
