Book excerpt: The youth labour market in Australia is characterised by low participation rates and predominance of part time employment, as well as high unemployment and underemployment. There has been a significant rise in education participation rates in Australia in recent year, directly linked to the demand for full time teenage employees. Despite teenage unemployment in Australia being twice that of the general population, only a very small proportion of the teenage population in Australia are not in some form of employment or education. This reflects the unique nature of the teenage market. This study investigates both the demand and supply characteristics of the market, and finds that many of the cliches associated with it do not stand up to close examination.

Book excerpt: There has been considerable debate on the issue of whether junior award rates should either be abolished or modified, in the context of removing age discrimination. This paper examines the economics of junior wages and employment. In particular, some simulations are carried out on the likely impacts of various changes to junior wages. The results suggest that changing the current structure of junior awards would have dramatic effects on youth employment and unemployment. The adverse employment outcomes would impact disproportionately on the most disadvantaged in the youth labour market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listed in top 50 Management Books for 2006 in the Australian Financial Review BOSS magazine, January 2007, Volume 8.In The Labour Market Ate My Babies Barbara Pocock, acclaimed author of The Work/Life Collision, examines the impact of modern working life on our children. In this book, young Australians from all over the country, city and the bush, rich and poor, talk about the good and bad of parental work - the trade off between money and time, consumer riches versus time for each other. Pocock argues that the modern labour market is having a huge impact on today's youth and eating into our capacity to care. Children have become a 'market'. Caring for kids and selling to kids is big business, as stressed, time-poor parents struggle to care for their children and salve their guilt with presents and pocket money. How will this future generation of workers weigh up the labour market and organise their lives? The Labour Market Ate My Babies argues that a sustainable future requires new policy approaches to work that incorporate the perspectives of children. We should:ensure that parents get the time they need away from work when they need it help parents get a good fit between how they want to work, and how they have to provide quality, low cost, public childcare options stop advertising to kids in ways that stimulate an early work/spend cycle.It's good to get money coming in and probably it's good to work as hard as you can when you're younger so when you're older you can retire with some money. But there should probably be a limit to how much before your relationships with other people start to strain because you are never there (Adam, 16)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Seldom has a senior public servant been so candid. As a key policymaker, Meredith Edwards takes us inside the process to reveal how we get the policies the affect so much of our lives.' - Paul Kelly, International Editor, The Australian 'This innovative and important volume, unique in the policy literature, provides ideas and case studies of interest to everyone who cares about the quality of Australian public policy. It will be an indispensable guide to past choices, and its lessons should help shape future Australian social policy decisions.' - Dr Glyn Davis, co-author of The Australian Policy Handbook How are social policies conceived, developed and put into practice? Based on four case studies of social policy reforms in which the author was a major player (the Child Support Scheme, AUSTUDY, the Higher Education Contribution scheme (HECS) and long-term employment policies presented as 'Working Nation') Social Policy, Public Policy provides insights into what is often otherwise seen as a 'black box' on how policy advice occurs. Meredith Edwards' personal experience, revealed in extracts from her journal, provides a picture of what social policy participants actually do, something on which too little has been written. Questions addressed in the book include: How was the policy problem identified and articulated and by whom? What were the key ingredients in policy analysis? When did consultation occur and in what form? How was the policy decision arrived at? What were the events between decision and implementation? And what evaluation processes occurred? Social Policy, Public Policy is essential reading for all students of public policy and policy advisers.
Download or read book The Impact of Intergenerational Effects and Geography on Youth Employment Outcomes written by Ross Kelly and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High youth unemployment in Australia is one of the major labour market issues confronting policy makers. Average youth unemployment rates in the Perth metropolitan region were over 15 per cent at the time of the 1996 Census, substantially higher than those recorded two decades ago. However, the burden of unemployment has not been borne equally by neighbourhoods within the metropolitan region. This paper shows that there are significant intergenerational rigidities in youth employment outcomes in the Perth region. It appears that the demographic characteristics of neighbourhoods are a significant causal factor in the employment outcomes of youths. The implication for policy is that the targeting of individuals at risk of unemployment may not be appropriate unless the relationship between youth unemployment, region and demography is taken into account.
