Download or read book Indigenous Job Search Success written by Matthew Gray and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One important and under-researched aspect of labour market policy is the extent to which policy interventions are effective in modifying job search behaviour. Furthermore, there is little extant research on whether certain job search behaviours lead to labour market success. Our analysis uses the only existing largescale longitudinal survey of Indigenous Australians to examine the effects of job search behaviour over an 18-month period from March 1996. One major finding is that the introduction of the Job Search Diary during the survey period was effective in increasing search intensity but this increase in intensity did not result in increased employment rates. Another fi nding is that the job search methods used were not generally related to the probability of finding and retaining employment when a range of other personal and regional factors are taken into account. Those with a greater level of search intensity (as measured by the number of jobs applied for) at the fi rst wave of the survey did have a signifi cantly higher probability of finding employment than those searching less intensely. However, search intensity is unrelated to the probability of job retention. Other factors, such as educational attainment, health status, region of residence and having been arrested, account for the majority of labour market success (or lack of it) among unemployed Indigenous job seeker.

Download or read book The Employer Perspective of Indigenous Un Employment written by André Sammartino and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over recent years, extensive data and research have confirmed the differential status of Indigenous Australians within the labour market. Indigenous Australians experience higher unemployment, lower participation rates and lower incomes than non-Indigenous workers (Boreham, Whitehouse and Harley, 1993; Daly, 1995; Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2000; Hunter and Gray, 200I). Borooah and Mangan (2002) found Indigenous Australians had poorer occupational outcomes than either white or Asian Australians. These poor labour market outcomes are major factors in the higher poverty levels in the Indigenous community (Albnan and Hunter, 1998). While both supply and demand factors shape the employment opportunities for workers, most of the research on Indigenous employment has relied on supply-side data, especially data on the human capital of individual workers. More recent work has considered demand side and context issues. Hunter and Hawke (2000), for example, identified industrial relations characteristics of workplaces employing Indigenous employees. This paper investigates Indigenous employment from the demand-side, with the main aim being to make an initial contribution to the debate by presenting data on senior management perceptions. Data were collected on the perceptions of 229 CEOs and senior managers in Australian-based businesses. The survey revealed a large number of firms had no Indigenous employees and no policies in place to increase the number. Only a minority of firms employed significant numbers of Indigenous workers. While acknowledging that CEOs and senior management do not typically make individual employment decisions, we argue that their perceptions both shape and reflect their organisations' employment practices. Such perceptions have concrete implications for Indigenous Australians in the labour market, particularly if these translate into preferences based on group membership. Furthermore, we argue that their perceptions reflect the imperfect information about labour quality that permeates labour markets. This claim is illustrated by comparisons between employers' perceptions of Indigenous and non-English speaking background (NESB) workers. We find that Indigenous employment is constrained by CEO perceptions of their human capital - namely their level of education, level of skills and commitment. CEOs believed there to be a shortage of Indigenous job seekers. CEOs also expressed concern about levels of Indigenous absenteeism and retention. We argue that such behaviour is a direct result of Australian businesses' lack of the necessary human resource management policies to adequately attract, retain and manage Indigenous employees and also NESB workers. More fundamentally, such perceptions provide evidence of statistical discrimination. That is, CEOs are using race as a proxy for productivity (Norman, 2003).

Download or read book Decolonizing Employment written by Shauna MacKinnon and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous North Americans continue to be overrepresented among those who are poor, unemployed, and with low levels of education. This has long been an issue of concern for Indigenous people and their allies and is now drawing the attention of government, business leaders, and others who know that this fast-growing population is a critical source of future labour. Shauna MacKinnon’s Decolonizing Employment: Aboriginal Inclusion in Canada’s Labour Market is a case study with lessons applicable to communities throughout North America. Her examination of Aboriginal labour market participation outlines the deeply damaging, intergenerational effects of colonial policies and describes how a neoliberal political economy serves to further exclude Indigenous North Americans. MacKinnon’s work demonstrates that a fundamental shift in policy is required. Long-term financial support for comprehensive, holistic education and training programs that integrate cultural reclamation and small supportive learning environments is needed if we are to improve social and economic outcomes and support the spiritual and emotional healing that Aboriginal learners tell us is of primary importance.
