General Household Survey (jN 5170 Office of Population Censuses and Surveys GENERAL HOUSEHOLD SURVEY Coding and Editing Notes 1 993/94 Ss513 / 1 993/94 VB14J4 2s.4 777 GHS 1993/94 CODING AND EDITING NOTSS INTRODUCTION These notes cover the questionnaires used between April 1993 snd March 1994 inclusive. These notes are intended to provide a guide to those General Household Survey coding procedures which are not ael f -evident from the question wording and layout. They also include coding frames, extra codes and any points of definition. They are not an exhaustive description of all coding action. The working document used by coders takea the form of fuller ceding instructions which incorporate such items as codes for non-response snd checks and applicability at some questions. Some of the edit checks, denoted by EC in the notes, are incorporated in order to give a more detailed picture of editing at both the coding end computing stages. To facilitate the use of these notes the computing Master Schedule is interleaved so that, as far as possible, any relevant points are opposite the appropriate guestions. In the ccmputing edit ONA (does not apply) and NA (no answer) are treated as follows : all ONA codes are set to -9 all NA codes are set to -8, unless recoding haa taken place either into existing precedes or sp.scif ic NA codes. The treatment of NAs is indicated on the computing Master Schedule at each question as follows: ~- No answers are not allowed. Blanks are rejected and answers imputed. Scecific NA codes - eg NA = 99. These codes are used at the coding stage and at the computing edit correction stage if omitted in error. NAs are included automatically in an existinq precede - eg Don’ t kIIOW/NA = 3 The NA is written alongside the printed description of the precede and follows the same cent inui t y. NAs are Set to -8 where ‘NA is written within the range of code numbers. The NA follows the same continuity as the cedes next to it, eg Household Q6, both code 2 and NA (-8) go to Q7, or apacific signposting is indicated, eg Tenure Q12, NAs (-8) 90 to Q31 . 238 CONTENTS Es9Q HOUSEHOLD SCHEDULE Scottish Supplementary Sample la Serial numbers la Household box Id Present accommodation 2 Tenure 7 Household Burglary 16 Migration 18a Country of birth 19a Household grid 20 INDIVIDUAL (PROXY) SCHEDULE Employment 2a Pens ions 11 Education 14 Sports and Physical activities 18 Mobility Aids 23 Health 25 Family Information 37 Contraception 46 Income 55a 239 (la) GHs 1993/94 HOUSEHOLD SCHEDULE REGION CODE : See next page (cedes 01 -27) QUARTSR NO.

It argues that an exploration of sitcoms reveals the mindset of postwar Britons and highlights how television developed both as an industry and as a public institution. This research demonstrates how Britain metamorphosed in this period from a welfare state with an implicit promise to establish a meritocratic and expert-based society, into a multiracial, consumer society ruled by the market. It illustrates how this turnabout of British society was formulated, debated, and shaped in British sitcoms. This dissertation argues that both democratization (resulting from the expansion of the franchise after World War I) and decolonization in the post-World War II era, established culture as a prominent political space in which interaction and interconnection between state and society took place. Therefore, this work focuses on culture and on previously less noticed parties to the negotiation over power in society such as, media institutions, media practitioners, and their audiences.

  • Social Housing Taskforce Report Final
    More than a Roof and Four Walls Social Housing Taskforce Final Report - 30 June 2009 Chair’s Foreword One of the fundamental needs of any human being is shelter. It rates up there with food and water! Unfortunately access to quality, affordable housing is not available to all Western Australians. After decades of inaction and lack of investment by successive governments, many indicators, such as the public housing waitlist and housing stress, have clearly been at unacceptable levels for far too long. The Social Housing Taskforce members were invited therefore to review all options for addressing these issues and to try and meet an aspirational target of 20,000 new social and affordable housing units by 2020. In the last six months we have consulted, analysed, deliberated and reviewed the data and the day-to-day realities of the Western Australian housing market. We believe that the aspirational target can be met, but only with a significant change in the way which housing is managed in this State. It will take a whole of government, whole of community commitment with a new way of looking at this crucial component of people’s lives. The Department of Housing will need to take a new leadership role within a comprehensive social and affordable housing continuum which supports individuals and families from homelessness to home ownership. It will also have to be led by continuing significant investment, by both Federal and State Governments, into the social and affordable housing continuum. The recent economic stimulus packages for example will create an additional 2,600 housing units in Western Australia.

Link Housing Briefing Paper - Revised Project Costs and Investment Requirements [8.6.1 - 3 pages] 2. Link Housing Letter - Council Investment in Housing for Women Escaping Domestic Violence [8.6.2 - 11 pages] 3. Previous Report - 23 September 2019 - Affordable Housing Need in North Sydney 2016-2036 [8.6.3 - 31 pages] PURPOSE: Increase and modernise Council’s affordable Housing offering utilising available development contributions restricted for this specific purpose. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In September 2019 Council considered a report on the then current affordable housing need in North Sydney and based on this, the best use of the remaining funds in the affordable housing reserve, which have been accumulated from developer levies. The amount available is $4,381,105. This amount is fixed and cannot be increased due to the 2009 Ministerial Directive which transfers to the State Government any amounts levied from that date. It is important the reserve be expended before the reserve too is called in by the State Government. Link Housing, Council’s Approved Provider, has a proposal to demolish 287 Miller Street, a jointly owned 5-bedroom boarding house, and construct on-site 11 modern self-contained studio apartments with specialist disability accommodation. Link currently owns 86.26% of the property with Council owning the remainder. The proposal has been advanced to DA stage and Link Housing lodged a pre-DA#2 submission in June 2020. Link Housing received feedback from Council’s planning staff and have subsequently revised the project design as well as project costs.
