Question

Using the data presented in Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Issue XXXXXXXXXXAverage Weekly Earnings,
Australia, write a report focusing on Australia weekly earnings commenting on changes over the last seven years
as well as comparison between different genders, industries or sectors in light of Catholic Social Teaching (CST)
principle “The Common Good”.
Your report should detail current Average Weekly Earnings in Australia and how it has changed over the last
seven years. Your report should use a variety of graphs and charts to visually present your data (as per Week 3
Topic), various measures of central tendency and variation (as per Week 4 Topic) to describe the Australia weekly
earnings, and time series and index numbers to present changes over time (as per Week 5 Topic). You should
then consider your data in the context of CST Principle “The Common Good” and conclude as to Australia’s
performance in respect to this principle.
Note that The Common Good principle considers “Every person should have sufficient access to the goods and
resources of society so that they can completely and easily live fulfilling lives. The rights of the individual to
personal possessions and community resources must be balanced with the needs of the disadvantaged and
dispossessed. The common good is reached when we work together to improve the wellbeing of people in our
society and the wider world.”
