Summary
A central role of a national statistical office is to provide statistics that describe the wellbeing of individuals and of society as a whole. To this end, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) provides statistics that are concerned with living conditions and social arrangements that monitor progress towards social goals, and inform the decisions of governments, community groups, organisations and individuals as they work to create better conditions of life. Among national statistical offices, the ABS has taken a pioneering role by developing a wellbeing framework to underpin its activity in the field of social statistics. This was published in Measuring Wellbeing: Frameworks for Australian Social Statistics, 2001 (cat. no. 4160.0) available at www.abs.gov.au. At its broadest level this framework comprises areas of social concern, population groups and transactions between individuals and groups within their social environment.
