Flinders Social Monitor
About the Social Monitor The Flinders Social Monitor represents the Network’s range of research interests. It presents concise analyses of social trends in areas including work, governance, housing, migration, business, families, crime, and Australia's place in the world. In 2006-7 the Flinders Social Monitor is using the Australian Survey of Social Attitudes (AuSSA) to monitor changes in social life and examine their impact on everyday lives in South Australia.
About AuSSA and the SA over-sample The Australian Survey of Social Attitudes (AuSSA) is a biennial mail survey which began in 2003. The survey is conducted through the ACSPRI Centre for Social Research and provides authoritative data on the social attitudes and behaviour of Australians and is the official source of the International Social Survey Program’s data for Australia.
Full information about AuSSA can be accessed via their website: http://aussa.anu.edu.au/.
In 2005, the Flinders Social Monitoring and Policy Futures Network commissioned AuSSA to oversample South Australian (SA) residents. A total of 1,019 South Australians responded. An overview of the sample is in the Flinders Social Monitor ‘About AuSSA’ issue.
