Drawing together the currently available information on social interactions from the 2002 General Social Survey and other ABS surveys, this compendium presents topics relating to selected elements of the ABS Social Capital Framework. Geographic and structural features of the Australian population set the scene, with further topics on feelings of safety, reciprocity and aspects of community support and social participation. Short articles with graphics present summary information for demographic and socio-economic characteristics. Some data are presented at state/territory and Remoteness Area level.
