Description	This document describes the background and methodology of four surveys under the general study title Issues in Multicultural Australia. The four surveys are: a general sample of the population; non-English speaking born immigrants in general (the NESB sample); persons born in Australia whose father or mother was born in a non-English speaking country (the second generation sample); and persons who migrated to Australia since July 1981 from non-English speaking countries (the new arrivals sample). The general of this study are: to examine multiculturalism as a policy, through the experience of Australians; as a set of beliefs, through their attitudes; and as an aspect of cultural maintenance, through their perceptions. The study concentrates on three broad themes. First, it examines the attitudes of the Australian and overseas born towards multiculturalism, focussing in particular on views about the maintenance of customs, ways of life and patterns of behaviour among immigrants. Second, the barriers which exist to providing full access and equity to overseas born groups are analysed, principally in the fields of education, jobs and in the provision of general health and welfare programmes and services. Third, the study looks at levels of participation in the social and political spheres in community, culture and work related organisations, and in the use of the political process to remedy problems and grievances. Separate sections of the questionnaire deal with the respondent's background - country of birth and parents' country of birth, father's occupation and educational level; language - English language ability, languages spoken, use of own language, ethnicity - identification with ethnic groups, government aid to such groups, religious observance; education - school leaving age, qualifications obtained, recognition of overseas qualifications, transition to employment; current job - job status, occupation , industry, working conditions, trade union membership, gross income, problems looking for work; spouse - country of birth, education and qualifications, occupation and industry, income and income sources; immigration - attitudes to immigration policy, opportunities for immigrants, social distance from various ethnic groups, and attitudes to authority; family and social networks - numbers of children, siblings in Australia, numbers of close friends in Australia, neighbours; citizenship - citizenship status, participation in political matters and interest in politics, trust in government; and multiculturalism - views on what multiculturalism means, and its importance to Australian society.

Collection Mode	Face-to-face interview
Weighting	Criteria and procedures (i) (ii) and (iii) apply to the general sample. Criteria and procedures (i) and (ii) only apply to the new arrivals, NESB and second generation samples. Weighting criteria (i) adjust for under representation of women not in the labour force (ii) adjust for differences in probabilities of selection arising from the random selection of one respondent from all eligible adults within a sample dwelling (iii) adjust for differences between the age-sex distribution of the sample and the population Weighting procedures (i) selected women in dwellings with an even listing number who were not in the workforce were not eligible for interview. Weights are based on the comparison of responses to question E.1 by odd or even listing number (screener question S.7) for women in the sample. The effect of the weighting is to duplicate the responses of women with odd listing numbers who were not in the workforce (E.1 equal to 0 or greater than 4) to reflect those of women with even listing numbers who were ineligible for interview. (ii) one eligible adult was selected in each dwelling, giving probabilities of selection inversely proportional to the number of eligible adults in the sample dwelling. Weights for each respondent are computed as: number of eligible adults in the respondent's household X no of respondents in sample/number of eligible adults in sampled dwellings with an average weight allocated to respondents from dwellings with 5 or more eligible adults. The weights are based on the responses obtained after weighting (i) above. (iii) after weighting (i) and (ii) above, the age-sex distribution of the sample is compared with the age-sex distribution of the population derived from the 1986 Census of population and Housing and weights derived to adjust for differences in the sample distribution.

Cleaning Operations	Provisions for Speakers of Other Languages If initial contact was made with someone who did not speak English, interviewers were instructed to call back at a different time of the day when it was likely that there was someone else at home who did speak English. If unable to locate anyone in the household who could speak adequate English, interviewers were then required to record exactly the language in use in the household, and to contact the fieldwork office to arrange an interpreter. The interviewer would conduct the screening and the interview with the assistance of the interpreter. Show cards were translated into Maltese, Vietnamese and Arabic for use where appropriate. Data Collection and Checking A dwelling was designated as a non-contact only after four visits by an interviewer at different times of the day and on different days of the week. At least two of these visits were to be during the evening or on a weekend. If an interviewer experienced a refusal, supervisors were to make contact and attempt to obtain an interview. Field supervisors were to ensure that screening procedures were correctly applied and documented by the interviewers. Supervisors were to observe at least two interviews in the first month for each interviewer, and check-edit completed questionnaires within three days of completion and resolve any anomalies by directing queries to the interviewer concerned and if necessary by returning to the respondent.
