This book was released on 2002 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of unemployed persons and the unemployment rate are widely used as measures of the extent of underutilisation of labour resources in the economy. While the ABS continues its commitment to producing employment statistics based on internationally accepted definitions, it also recognises that the headline unemployment rate cannot satisfy all the purposes for which such data are required. The ABS provides a wide range of data on available labour resources and the extent of labour utilisation. Supplementary measures based on these data can be used to give a broader perspective on the meaning and measurement of unemployment and underutilised labour. In particular, measures are available of underemployment and of persons who, although not currently economically active, have some of the characteristics of the unemployed (i.e pesons marginally attached to the labour force). This information paper discusses ABS measures of labour underutilised and proposes four indicators of labour underutilisation. It also identifies and discusses population groups, within the wider groups of underemployed, underemployed and marginally attached persons, that were used to develo these indicators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The official labour force statistics that are used in Australia have serious limitations. While appropriate for characterising the employment and unemployment situations of a labour market dominated by standard employment relations, however, they may now be inappropriate as standard employment relations no longer dominate the Australian labour market. Over the past 25 years, significant restructuring of both the economy and the labour market has occurred resulting in slower growth of full-time employment, a substantial increase in part-time work, a continued decline in the male labour force participation rate and a continued increase in the female participation rate. As a result, two serious problems emerged in the Australian labour market in the wake of the recession of the early-1990s, a substantial increase in both hidden unemployment and visible underemployment, which were not reflected in the official Australian measures of labour underutilisation, that is the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate and the trend unemployment rate. Up until the late-1980s, hidden unemployment and visible underemployment were not important sources of labour underutilisation in Australia, but they now contribute significantly to the level of labour underutilisation. Herein lies the problem that is the crux of this thesis. The growth in hidden unemployment and visible underemployment means that the official measures of labour underutilisation for Australia, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate and the trend unemployment rate, no longer provide accurate estimates of labour underutilisation. In fact, they essentially only measure cyclical unemployment and frictional unemployment, which are the core forms of unemployment and joblessness associated with standard employment relations. Consequently, they no longer provide an appropriate basis for the development of employment, economic and social policy in Australia. New indicators are needed that yield better measures of labour underutilisation and hence provide a better basis for public policy. This thesis develops three new labour market indicators that are then used to re-examine the experience of the South Australian labour market over the period 1989 to 2005. The first section of the thesis provides a critical review of the official Australian Bureau of Statistics labour force indicators, and a range of alternative labour force indicators that have been developed since the 1990s. This discussion leads to the development of three new labour force indicators with the particular characteristic of providing broad accessibility for labour market analysts and policy makers including those who generally are not literate in econometric techniques. The second section uses these labour force indicators to re-examine, and re-interpret, the experience of the South Australian labour market over the period 1989 to 2005. The third section draws conclusions from this analysis, arguing in particular that the actual level of labour underutilisation in South Australia is about treble the level that is obtained from either the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate or the trend unemployment rate. Some key policy implications of this finding are then discussed." -- abstract, pages x-xi.

Book excerpt: Employment is a key driver of social and economic development. It is also at the centre of most people's lives and the quality of an individual's employment is an important element of his or her well-being. At the same time, labour markets are evolving and the conditions of employment are continuously changing, which affects the lives of workers and their households. This development has been accompanied by growing interest in quality of employment and demands from policymakers, governments and researchers for more systematic information on the quality of employment to complement the well-established quantitative labour market indicators. The Framework offers a coherent structure for measuring quality of employment and provides practical guidance for compiling and interpreting a number of proposed indicators.

Book excerpt: The unemployment rate is commonly assumed to measure labour availability, but this ignores the fact that potential workers frequently come from outside the current set of labour market participants, the so-called inactive. The UK Longitudinal Labour Force Survey includes information that can be used to predict impending employment transitions. Using this unique dataset, the new measures of labour availability, and indicators based on the more familiar unemployment rate alternatives, can be constructed and are reported here. The micro and macroeconomic performance of these labour force availability measures is compared.
