Data Issues

This paper provides a summary of data-related issues that have emerged over the life of Growing up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC). The chapters were initially published on the LSAC website as a series of Issues Papers designed to assist users of the LSAC data as they undertake research and analysis of the LSAC datasets.

The paper is to be used in conjunction with the Data User Guide available on the LSAC website.

The authors wish to acknowledge:

  • DSS and AIFS for their support in providing feedback.
  • Former ABS Data Processing team members for their contribution to earlier versions of the data issues paper.
