Book excerpt: At the same time, Members have also been heartened by the enthusiasm and commitment of other Indigenous people to improve their lot and help other Indigenous families and communities. The Commonwealth, in cooperation with other governments, the private sector and Indigenous groups is also introducing flexible, innovative, well coordinated partnerships to redress the disadvantage suffered by Indigenous people in urban and non urban areas. There remains much to be done, but the foundations for success are being laid. I commend the Commonwealth Government for the leadership and determination, exhibited in so many ways, to address in a practical fashion the disadvantages faced by Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders. To devote taxpayers funds, as the Government now does, to targeted outcomes in education, employment, health and housing has, in my view, the undisputed support and approval of the vast majority of Australians ..." -- Forward.

Book Housing in 21st Century Australia

Download or read book Housing in 21st Century Australia written by Rae Dufty-Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades new and significant demographic, economic, social and environmental changes and challenges have shaped the production and consumption of housing in Australia and the policy settings that attempt to guide these processes. These changes and challenges, as outlined in this book, are many and varied. While these issues are new they raise timeless questions around affordability, access, density, quantity, type and location of housing needed in Australian towns and cities. The studies presented in this text also provide a unique insight into a range of housing production, consumption and policy issues that, while based in Australia, have implications that go beyond this national context. For instance how do suburban-based societies adjust to the realities of aging populations, anthropogenic climate change and the significant implications such change has for housing? How has policy been translated and assembled in specific national contexts? Similarly, what are the significantly different policy settings the production and consumption of housing in a post-Global Financial Crisis period require? Framed in this way this book accounts for and responds to some of the key housing issues of the 21st century.

Book The Routledge Handbook of Housing and Welfare

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Housing and Welfare written by Martin Grander and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook takes on one of the most pressing issues of today’s society – the question of housing. It is a cutting-edge edited volume about the disputed interrelationship between housing and the wider welfare state. Although housing scholars generally agree that housing should be regarded as part of such a wider welfare system, it has proven hard to pinpoint and operationalize its position within it. Moreover, the relationship became considerably more complex as a result of the period of intense globalization and the integration of national housing finance systems into world finance markets. Furthermore, welfare systems reflect economic as well as social models and these, too, have changed as countries have responded to globalization, and traditional ideological frameworks have become less distinct. Thus, there is a need to redefine the connection between housing and welfare in light of changes in both welfare and housing systems. By investigating the current situation and historical development of housing provision and welfare distribution in different contexts worldwide, this book aims to contribute to an expanded understanding of housing and welfare. The book brings together 25 international housing researchers covering 15 countries worldwide. With such a global approach, the book aims to provide an updated empirical picture and analysis of different housing systems and their connection to the welfare regime in different national contexts. The book moves beyond the usual focus on affordable housing provision in the context of well-developed welfare regimes and includes countries from the global south, incorporating regions where it is debatable whether there are welfare systems present at all. Thus, the book aims to provide the reader with an insight into the large differences in housing provision in international contexts with large differences regarding how the welfare state is comprised. From these insights, we reflect on whether regime approaches continue to provide a suitable theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between housing and the wider welfare state. This handbook is essential reading for researchers, students, policymakers, and other professionals in the fields of housing studies, welfare studies, economics, urban studies, social work, social and public policy, and sociology.
