HILDA User Manual – Release 17

The Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey (HILDA) is a household-based longitudinal survey. This manual has been designed for the users of the HILDA data. The manual aims to cover the things that you need to know to use the HILDA data – such as missing data conventions, an introduction to the derived variables, how to put the data files together, imputation, weights and how to find your way around the documentation. The best way to use this manual is as a reference tool. It is unlikely that you will sit down and read it cover to cover and take away everything you need to know about the data. More realistically, you will start to work with the data and will need some information about certain aspects of the data or the survey – and hopefully you will be able to find it within this manual easily.
