This study by Tom Karmel and Patrick Lim at the CEET conference in November 2013 delves into measuring VET participation by SES over time, using indices like IRSD, IRSAD, IEO, and IER. It explores VET participation rates for different age groups and the changes between 2006 and 2011, highlighting the importance of accurate estimates and equity in VET participation.

Measuring VET participation by SES over time Tom Karmel and Patrick Lim CEET conference, 1 November 2013
SEIFA • Index of relative socio-economic disadvantage (IRSD) • Index of relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage (IRSAD) • Index of education and occupation (IEO) • Index of economic resources (IER)
Apparent and actual educational participation rates in a hypothetical example .
15-19 year old VET participation rates, 2006 and 2011, POA
15-19 years VET participation rate, changes between 2006 and 2011, POA
Actual and apparent changes in VET participation for age by SES quintiles, 2006-2011, SEIFA (ISRD), POA (percentage points)
15-19 years VET participation rate, changes between 2006 and 2011, SLA
Apparent and actual VET participation rates for those aged 15-19 years, by SES quintile, 2011
Apparent and actual VET participation rates for those aged 20-24 years, by SES quintile, 2011
Apparent and actual VET participation rates for those aged 24-64 years, by SES quintile, 2011
Actual and apparent changes in VET participation for age by SES quintiles, 2006-2011, SEIFA (ISRD), SLA (percentage points)
More work to be done • Same exercise for higher education • Figure out how to analyse accuracy of estimates at qualification level
Summary • Quintiles ain’t quintiles. • Important to calculate participation rates rather than use 20% as a reference. • Equity issue in VET not obvious. • In respect of SEIFA, level of regional classification matters. • SEIFA at SLA level seems ok, but need to test methodology every census.
