This book was released on 1986 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seven papers collected in this report cover the educational and labor market experiences of migrant youth in Australia. Most of the papers address the question of how these youths are affected by government labor programs and services. "Migrant Unemployment in the First Year of Labour Market Activity" (Paul W. Miller) reports that migrants, and refugees in particular, face high unemployment. "Explaining Unemployment Experience: Social, Structural and Birthplace Variations in Australia" (Ian McAllister) assesses unemployment difference between different birthplace migrant groups. "Careers Education: Cinderella of Schooling" (Diana F. Davis) evaluates the availability and adequacy of careers education and counseling services for migrant youth. "Ethnic Groups and Post-Compulsory Education" (Gerald Burke and Denis Davis) reviews the participation of ethnic groups in higher education and programs within the "Technical and Further Education" sector. "The Community Employment Program: A Slim Share for Migrants" (Tony Pensabene, Grazyna Mackiewicz, and Runda Beirouti) examines migrant participation in a program which provides employment opportunities through labor-intensive projects. "A Study of Migrant Participation in the Special Youth Employment Training Program" (Peter Shergold, Tony Pensabene, and Antoon Boey) evaluates migrant participation in a wage subsidy scheme which encourages employers to take on and train unemployed youth. "Migrants in the Community Youth Support Scheme" (Marie Kabala) reviews a program which provides grants to community-based, publicly elected committees to offer unemployed youth activities to increase their employability and provide them with support during unemployment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 7-chapter report reviews unemployment among migrant and refugee youth in Australia, examines the employment and training programs that exist for this population, identifies unmet needs, and suggests programs or services to meet those needs. An overview of the labor market programs and services available is contained in Chapter 2. Chapters 1 and 3 examine the extent of unemployment among overseas-born youth and explore the factors which influence their prospects in comparison with Australian born youth. Chapters 4 and 5 present evidence of program utilization by migrant youth. Chapter 6 examines the suitability of programs for overcoming the disadvantages of immigrant youth in seeking employment. The recommendations in the report's final chapter hinge on increasing migrant youths' utilization of resources, and involve four broad levels of improvement: (1) adjustments to the eligibility provisions for programs; (2) attention to procedures in program administration so as to assist those in greatest need; (3) adjustments to programs in order to enhance their suitability for a specific group; and (4) changes in the coordination and evaluation of programs and services. Appendices include program summaries, an overview of education and programs, and statistical information relating to the methodology and findings of the review. (CG)

Download or read book Gender Ethnicity and Employment written by Rowshan Ara Haque and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an empirical investigation of the employment status of Non- English-Speaking Background (NESB) and Australia-born women. The analysis adds to the work of Australian authors who have found that NESB women are und- represented in occupations that have relatively high pay and congenial working conditions, and are over-represented amongst the unemployed. This study dev- ops a de?nition of primary sector employment from the occupation categories in the 1996 Census, and uses the ANU2 occupational prestige scale and earnings data from the Census. The book constructed univariate probit models for labour market participation, and primary sector employment and unemployment for both groups of women. The models were estimated using the 1% sample from the 1996 Australian C- sus. The Census provided useful information regarding labour market status and a range of human capital and demographic variables that were relevant to the ana- sis. These models suggested that NESB women faced disadvantages in the labour market if they had poor English language skills or had arrived in Australia comp- atively recently. The models tended to support the works of other authors who have found that education and labour market experience were signi?cant in improving the labour market position of individuals.

Book excerpt: Despite pro-migration rhetoric of post-pandemic Australia, migrant workers complain continued discrimination and exploitation in the Australian job market. An online survey and in-depth interviews were conducted from July to September 2022. A total of 1,002 survey responses and 65 in-depth interviews informed this research.Although migrant workers record higher job market participation and employment rates than those of Australian-born workers, a majority of the research participants face significant entry barriers to the job market. Overseas skills are not recognised fairly, and locally earned degrees cannot help them overcome prejudices. Furthermore, businesses tend to equate workplace rights and citizenship/permanent residency and don't entertain applications made by workers on temporary visas.The research findings suggest a correlation between temporary migration status, insecure employment, and wage theft experience. Migrant workers on temporary visas are pushed to insecure jobs, often irrelevant to their education and training. Half of the research participants don't feel safe at work. Among many safety concerns, discrimination is the most common form of hazard, experienced by over half of the research participants. Migrant workers who experienced wage theft are more engaged in unsafe workplaces than those who didn't.
