Assignment overview
This assignment requires you to draw upon the knowledge and skills you have developed by completing the readings and learning materials in Theme 1: Space of Social Difference. This theme spans across modules 1-5, but this assignment only covers the learning materials in Modules 1-4. For the purpose of this assignment, the region of Sydney is used as a case study. The learning outcomes will equip you with universal competencies enabling you to undertake work in any location. Therefore, if the region of Sydney is not your local area, this won't have a detrimental impact on your learning experience.
After successfully completing this assignment, you will be able to:
• identify socio-economic differences within, and between, different places using census data
• explain some of the reasons for social differences within, and between, different suburbs
• reference academic sources using the Harvard referencing style.To see an example of an almost completed template, you have been provided with a Victorian example (I have upload it and attached it, attachment # 2). Look through this example to get a sense of what you will need to do.

- Refer to the ‘Map of Spatial Terms to Identify Regions of Sydney’ in the Assignment 1 folder on vUWS to determine the region.
- If you live outside of the greater Sydney region, name the region of NSW your suburb is located within. Ask you tutor for assistance if you are unsure.
- What is the name of your comparison Sydney suburb?
- Your comparison suburb MUST be located in a different Sydney region to the region the suburb your first suburb is located within.

Blacktown is located at 34km, away from the Sydney Central Business District (Trippler, 2016). It is the largest in terms of area coverage compared to other townships in New south wales. In addition to this, Blacktown is considered to have the highest multicultural composition in Great Sydney. More than 47 176 people live in Blacktown, with 46 % of the total population being Australian by birth( Trippler, 2016). Latest Census indicated that 941 people live in Lavender Bay with 0% Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal. |
|
2. |
Additionally, 12.6% of the population have completed year 12. Over the last few years, the place has indicated an improvement in the number of educated communities with more people attaining year 12. 25% in Lavender is from English ancestries, while 15. 1% are Australian.
|
|
3. |
Notably, Indians have dominated Blacktown in relation to individuals’ birth country at 13%. In addition to this, 44% of the people living in Blacktown speak English, while 8.9% speak Punjabi (Trippler, 2016). On the other hand, 76.1% of the population in Lavender Bay speak English, while 2.2% speak Cantonese (Trippler, 2016). Blacktown has recorded a high rate of population growth mainly by birth and migrations. It is important to note that 12, 319 children in Blacktown are living in poverty, therefore raising the risk of their physical health, social competence, emotional maturity, cognitive and language skills. |
|
4. |
Unemployment in the Blackout Bay is higher as compared to Lavender Bay, which has also led to severe economic implications. While Lavender Bay has 69% of its population employed, Blacktown has 11% in full-time jobs (Trippler, 2016). Many people are jobless Blacktown, hence affecting individual, families and community as far as an intergenerational disadvantage is concerned. The most affected group in terms of unemployment in the area is aboriginal and the youths. However, the township is relatively connected to the workplace as people use cars to their workstations.
|
PART III: EXPLANATION OF REASONS FOR SOCIO-ECONOMIC DIFFERENCES (500 words - 10 marks)
- Using the assignment 1 AND weekly lecture readings, explain some of the MAIN reasons for the socio-economic differences between the two suburbs you selected to compare which you listed in Part II.
- You MUST reference at least 2 of the academic sources (journal articles, book chapters or books) provided in the Assignment 1 reading list (available on vUWS) OR as weekly readings.
- You can refer to the lectures in this unit (only for Assignment 1) however, this must be in addition to the two academic sources outlined above.
- This section MUST NOT be based upon personal opinion. Please ensure that you provide in-text citations using Western Sydney University’s Harvard Referencing Style (http://library.westernsydney.edu.au/main/sites/default/files/cite_Harvard.pdf). Refer to the materials from the Week 5 Workshop for assistance with referencing.

Social-economic differences may result from a range of difficulties that work to the disadvantage of societal well-being. In most cases, they block life opportunities that intern limits people social-economic participation. The problems include economic poverty, poor health, and educational disparity, among many others (Baum, 1997). Meanwhile, the two cities under study, namely Lavender Bay in North Sydney and Blacktown in Western Sydney experiences difference in social-economic parity due to the locational difference within Sydney. Lavender bay is located next to the coast that makes it more attractive for investors in comparison to the Blacktown that is to the north with no investment drivers to attract both the local and foreign investors to the region.
Unemployment rates significantly impact the social-economic difference experience between the two cities. Blacktown large populations of her youths are jobless, as shown by the census data (Fisher, 1978). This directly impacts their economic capability difference in comparison to Lavender Bay that records a high population of employed youths. Furthermore, the job types in these two towns are entirely different as the two sides of the coin. Lavender Bay population are full-time employees with most of them enjoying white colour jobs whereas, the employed population of Blacktown are within the retail sector that is never formed in nature propounding the social-economic difference between the two towns of Sydney.
Education levels desperation between the two cities population triggers the social status differences within the two towns. The Lavender large population is well educated in comparison to Blacktown population. According to the census date, a large population of Lavender speaks fluent English which is a second language in Australia (Fisher, 1978). This clearly shows the social differences level between these two areas of Sydney
Social calamities drastically impact on the social-economic differences In Sydney. The northern areas of Sydney are prone to flooding that in one way or another affects the health status of the area’s population. Blacktown has recorded poor health conditions to her population that has been triggered by the outbreak of diseases such as cholera due to blockage of drainage systems within the town as a result of flooding (Fisher, 1978).

Appendix – ABS QuickStat Suburb Comparison Tables, 2011 Census
Part II of Assignment 1 requires you to download and enter ABS QuickStats data into the comparison tables presented in this document. Please see below for step-by-step instructions.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Completing the Comparison Tables
Step One – Download the data you need from the ABS QuickStats website by:
- Click on the link www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/censushome.nsf/home/quickstats.
- If the link does not work, copy and paste the link into your web browser.
- The link will take you to the ABS QuickStats Search function.
- Type the name of the first suburb you selected, in the ABS QuickStats Search Box.
- You will then need to choose a statistical level from a list of options. These options will be automatically generated once you enter the suburb name. Please select ‘State Suburb (SSC)’ For example, if your suburb is Blacktown, the correct option to choose is: ‘Blacktown, NSW(SSC)’,
- Make sure 2011 census data is also selected and click-on ‘go’ (2016 was the last census conducted in Australia, but not all of the data from this census is currently available).
- QuickStats data for your suburb will then be generated.
- Repeat the process for the comparison suburb. Remember that the comparison suburb is to be selected from a Sydney region that is different to the region of the suburb you first selected.
Step Two – Enter the ABS QuickStats data for the two suburbs into the tables below, noting:
- You will need to manually enter the data in the tables.
- Please note that you WON’T need to enter all the data generated by the ABS website, only the data for the tables below.
Step Three – Use the Comparison Tables to complete Part III of the assignment
