Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the final evaluation findings of a new government income management scheme operating in the Northern Territory - New Income Management (NIM). Income management - the 'quarantining' a portion of a person's income support payment and restricting how this can be spent - was first introduced in 2007 as part of the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER) in Indigenous communities. In August 2010, the scheme was revised and expanded to form the NIM scheme. It features four streams, targeting long-term income support recipients of working age, vulnerable groups, people in contact with child protection authorities, and voluntary participants. The evaluation was commissioned to assess the impact of the scheme on clients, the effectiveness of the implementation, and the cost-effectiveness of the model, and to inform future policy development. The evaluation was undertaken from 2010 to 2014, with initial findings published in 2012 in the First Evaluation Report.

Income management - the 'quarantining' a portion of a person's income support payment and restricting how this can be spent - was first introduced in 2007 as part of the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER) in Indigenous communities. In August 2010, the scheme was revised and expanded to form the New Income Management (NIM) scheme. It features four streams, targeting long-term income support recipients of working age, vulnerable groups, people in contact with child protection authorities, and voluntary participants. Though 91% of participants are from Indigenous communities, the scheme is now operating across all the Northern Territory. This is the first evaluation report of NIM, focusing on the implementation, transition, and initial impacts of the scheme. It covers the initial implementation period and the first 12 months of operation, and features a survey of over 800 participants and a comparison group of income support recipients outside of the Northern Territory.
Book Synopsis Income Management Evaluations - what Do We Now Know? by : J. Rob Bray
Download or read book Income Management Evaluations - what Do We Now Know? written by J. Rob Bray and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various income management programs have operated in Australia since 2007 and numerous evaluations have been conducted on their impact and effectiveness. However, the differences in the income management programs - and the methodologies employed to evaluate them - has led to an apparent diversity of findings that has been exaggerated and used selectively in public debate. This paper reviews this body of evaluation work to identify the extent of consistency between the findings and the reason for any variations. A particular focus is on the charge of inconsistency levelled at the most recent study into the New Income Management (NIM) scheme in the Northern Territory.

Book excerpt: "In May 2010, a consortium of experts ... was engaged by the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) to develop an overarching framework for the evaluation of new income management (NIM) to guide evaluation activities over the period 2010-14. The terms of reference for developing the evaluation framework are that the evaluation activities: be completed and reported by December 2014; provide information on the implementation of the NIM in the Northern Territory by the end of 2011 in order to inform decisions about an expansion of the model beyond the Northern Territory; result in data being collected that can be used to evaluate short, medium and, where possible, longer-term impacts/outcomes of new income management; include a set of ethics guidelines and an ethical clearance strategy relevant to this evaluation project. This document outlines a framework for the evaluation of the NIM model in the NT. The framework is intended to provide a broad structure for the evaluation. It addresses the scope of assessment, high-level research questions, study design, methodologies and proposed data and sources."--Executive summary.

Book Synopsis Do Welfare Restrictions Improve Child Health? by : Mary-Alice Doyle
Download or read book Do Welfare Restrictions Improve Child Health? written by Mary-Alice Doyle and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the key goals of income management in Australia is to improve child outcomes among welfare recipients in Indigenous communities. It aims to do this by increasing the share of household income spent on food and other essentials, and reducing the amount spent on potentially harmful goods such as alcohol and tobacco. This paper adds to the evaluation evidence by estimating the impact of income management on child birthweights in the Northern Territory. Drawing on administrative data, it compares take-up of income management during pregnancy to healthy child birthweight, with consideration of changes in household consumption patterns, changes in antenatal care, other related policies, and increased individual stress due to a new payment regime. The findings suggest that income management does not improve this measure of child health, and, indeed, may have had a negative impact on birthweight.
Book Synopsis Compulsory Income Management in Australia and New Zealand by : Greg Marston
Download or read book Compulsory Income Management in Australia and New Zealand written by Greg Marston and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a decade on from their conception, this book reflects on the consequences of income management policies in Australia and New Zealand. Drawing on a three-year study, it explores the lived experience of those for whom core welfare benefits and services are dependent on government conceptions of ‘responsible’ behaviour. It analyses whether officially claimed positive intentions and benefits of the schemes are outweighed by negative impacts that deepen the poverty and stigma of marginalised and disadvantaged groups. This novel study considers the future of this form of welfare conditionality and addresses wider questions of fairness and social justice.
Book Synopsis Indigenous Children’s Right to Participate in Law and Policy Development by : Holly Doel-Mackaway
Download or read book Indigenous Children’s Right to Participate in Law and Policy Development written by Holly Doel-Mackaway and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a model for reforming and developing Indigenous related legislation and policy, not only in Australia, but also in other jurisdictions. The model provides guidance about how to seek, listen to and respond to the voices of Indigenous children and young people. The participation of Indigenous children and young people, when carried out in a culturally and age-appropriate way and based on free, prior and informed consent, is an invaluable resource capable of empowering children and young people and informing Indigenous related legislation and policy. This project contributes to the emerging field of robust, ethically sound, participatory research with Indigenous children and young people and proposes ways in which Australian and international legislators and policymakers can implement the principle of children’s participation by involving Aboriginal children and young people in the development of law and policy pertaining to their lives. This book provides accounts from Aboriginal children and young people detailing their views on how they can be involved in law and policy development in the future. It shows the latest state of knowledge on the topic and will be of interest to researchers, academics, policymakers, legislators, and students in the fields of human rights law, children’s rights, participation rights, Indigenous peoples’ law, and family, child and social welfare law.

Download or read book Developing Minds written by Elise Klein and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development policy makers and practitioners are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their ability to target ‘development’ interventions and the psychological domain is now a specific frontier of their interventional focus. This landmark study considers the problematic relationship between development and psychology, tracing the deployment of psychological knowledge in the production/reproduction of power relations within the context of neoliberal development policy and intervention. It examines knowledge production and implementation by actors of development policy such as the World Bank and the neo-colonial state - and ends by examining the proposition of a critical psychology for more emancipatory forms of development. The role of psychology in development studies remains a relatively unexplored area, with limited scholarship available. This important book aims to fill that gap by using critical psychology perspectives to explore the focus of the psychological domain of agency in development interventions. It will be essential reading for students, researchers, and policy makers from fields including critical psychology, social psychology, development studies and anthropology.
Book Synopsis The Routledge International Handbook to Welfare State Systems by : Christian Aspalter
Download or read book The Routledge International Handbook to Welfare State Systems written by Christian Aspalter and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing countries may not have full-fledged welfare states like those we find in Europe, but certainly they have welfare state systems. For comparative social policy research the term "welfare state systems" has many advantages, as there are numerous different types/models of welfare state systems around the world. This path-breaking book, edited by Christian Aspalter, brings together leading experts to discuss social policy in 25 countries/regions around the world. From the most advanced welfare state systems in Scandinavia and Western Central Europe to the developing powers of Brazil, China, India, Russia, Mexico and Indonesia, each country-specific chapter provides a historical overview, discusses major characteristics of the welfare state system, analyzes country-specific problems, as well as critical current and future trends for further discussions, while also providing one additional major focal point/issue for greater in-depth analysis. This book breaks new ground in ideal-typical welfare regime theory, identifying now in total 10 worlds of welfare capitalism. It provides broad perspectives on critical challenges which welfare state systems in the developing and developed world alike must address now and in the future. It will be of great interest to all scholars and students of social policy, social development, development and health economists, public policy, health policy, sociology, social work and social policy makers and administrators. This book is a reference book for researchers and social policy administrators; it can also serve as a textbook for courses on comparative social policy, international social policy and international social development.
Book Synopsis 'And there'll be NO dancing' by : Elisabeth Baehr
Download or read book 'And there'll be NO dancing' written by Elisabeth Baehr and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just prior to the federal election of 2007, the Australian government led by John Howard decreed the “Northern Territory National Emergency Response”, commonly known as the Intervention, officially in reaction to an investigation by the Northern Territory government into allegedly rampant sexual abuse and neglect of Indigenous children. The emergency laws authorised the Australian government to drastically intervene in the self-determination of Indigenous communities in contravention of the UN Declaration of Human Rights and of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Far from improving the living conditions of Indigenous Australians and children, the policies have resulted in disempowerment, widespread despair, criminalisation and higher unemployment. The Intervention and subsequent political measures have led to heated controversies and continue to divide the Australian nation. They have revived the trauma of the past—including of the Stolen Generations—and have substantially damaged the process of reconciliation. Fourteen essays by scholars from Australia and Germany examine (historical) contexts and discourses of the Intervention and subsequent policies impacting Indigenous Australia since 2007 from the perspective of diverse academic disciplines including history, sociology, law, Indigenous studies, art history, literature, education and media studies. They invite readers to engage in the debate about human rights, about Indigenous self-determination, and about the preservation of Indigenous culture.
