Quantitative data on families, relationships and gender

We're lucky. Australian FRG researchers have access to many high quality sources of quantitative data. Some well known sources are listed here. Which do use? What do you use them for? Can you add any?

There is also the Negotiating the Lifecourse project run by researchers at ANU and Uni of QLD. This is a longitudinal project examining the ways in which individuals negotiate paid and unpaid work responsibilities over the lifecourse. Four waves of data have been collected since its commencement in 1996 with wave 5 scheduled to be collected in late 2009.
