Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s the average level of unemployment in Australia has risen each decade. This has imposed huge economic, social and human costs, making unemployment one of the most pressing problems confronting Australia. Governments, however, seem powerless in the face of this problem. Drawing on the expertise of some of Australia's leading economists, this book, first published in 2000, argues that the currently fashionable approaches of wage cuts and further steps towards labour market flexibility will not solve the unemployment problem. In reality, unemployment and rising inequality are symptoms of the growing failure of contemporary labour markets to distribute jobs and incomes effectively. The contributors argue that the main solution to this problem is not wage cuts but jobs growth. This important book points to a way beyond the current policy malaise and offers detailed solutions to unemployment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ePDF and ePUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This book brings together leading international authors from a number of fields to provide an up-to-date understanding of part-time work at national, sector, industry and workplace levels. The contributors critically examine part-time employment in different institutional settings across Europe, the USA, Australia and Korea. This analysis serves as a prism to investigate wider trends, particularly in female employment, including the continued increase in part-time work and processes that are increasingly creating dualisation and inequality between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ jobs.

This book was released on 2017-05-24 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labor markets in Australia have adjusted smoothly to significant declines in commodity prices with little increase in unemployment. This paper examines several aspects of the adjustment, focusing on (i) evidence of increased labor market frictions following the commodity price decline; (ii) flexibility in labor input adjustment in response to demand shocks; (iii) changes in labor productivity in the wake of resource reallocation with the decline in mining investment, (iv) and the role of migration in adjusting to the commodity price and mining investment cycle. We find little evidence of increased labor market frictions with the decline in commodity prices. The relatively smooth transition has been assisted by increased flexibility in adjustment of worker hours over time. Labor productivity growth has sustained its historical average through the transition, despite some temporary drag as the economy rebalances. Finally, migration has played a key role in labor market adjustment through the commodity cycle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A flexible labour market is widely regarded as a key factor in encouraging economic growth and prosperity. In recent years some economies have successfully reformed their labour markets, making part-time and flexible hours easier, limiting the restrictive practices of trade unions, encouraging training and the enhancement of the skills of those in the labour market, coping with the changing age profile of the workforce and in other ways. Other economies have been less successful at labour market reform and continue to struggle with outdated structures and practices. This book discusses the key elements of labour market reform, contrasting a country where reforms have been successfully carried through, Australia, with a country where reforms have been less successful, Japan. At the same time, this book challenges the conventional view that Australia is the lucky country for all its workers – given the rising hours worked for those in work and the difficulties for young people entering the labour market. Both countries also face issues in terms of an ageing population, and policy challenges in the design of safety nets and pension provision. The book thereby demonstrates to analysts of labour market reform worldwide the key elements of successful labour market reform, and the consequential effects when the reforms are carried through, or not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keith Hancock is honoured and celebrated in this work, following the significant contributions he made not only to academic research and teaching, but also to the practice of industrial relations, through the various roles he held as Professor, Vice-Chancellor, Senior Deputy President of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission and author of major government reviews and inquiries.The workshop held in his honour included a number of commentators. More specifically, the following issues arising from the papers were actively debated:Whether a decentralised and less regulated labour marketing is a necessary condition for meeting the requirements of global competition The effects of labour market deregulation on employment and the nature of employment on income distribution on wage inequality, on productivity, on work stress and on job satisfaction The consequences of labour market deregulation for Australians' work/care regime The impact of labour market deregulation on trade unions Whether macro-economic, policy has been unduly restrained by the risk of inflation in a deregulated labour market How labour market deregulation has affected industrial relations as a field of study and research, and How the nature of rights and obligations of employers, employees and unions have been affected by the changes in labour market regulation. Contributors include Keith Hancock, Ron McCallum, Barbara Pocock, Peter Saunders, Ron Callus, Sue Richardson, RG Gregory, Rae Cooper and Willy Brown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The official labour force statistics that are used in Australia have serious limitations. While appropriate for characterising the employment and unemployment situations of a labour market dominated by standard employment relations, however, they may now be inappropriate as standard employment relations no longer dominate the Australian labour market. Over the past 25 years, significant restructuring of both the economy and the labour market has occurred resulting in slower growth of full-time employment, a substantial increase in part-time work, a continued decline in the male labour force participation rate and a continued increase in the female participation rate. As a result, two serious problems emerged in the Australian labour market in the wake of the recession of the early-1990s, a substantial increase in both hidden unemployment and visible underemployment, which were not reflected in the official Australian measures of labour underutilisation, that is the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate and the trend unemployment rate. Up until the late-1980s, hidden unemployment and visible underemployment were not important sources of labour underutilisation in Australia, but they now contribute significantly to the level of labour underutilisation. Herein lies the problem that is the crux of this thesis. The growth in hidden unemployment and visible underemployment means that the official measures of labour underutilisation for Australia, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate and the trend unemployment rate, no longer provide accurate estimates of labour underutilisation. In fact, they essentially only measure cyclical unemployment and frictional unemployment, which are the core forms of unemployment and joblessness associated with standard employment relations. Consequently, they no longer provide an appropriate basis for the development of employment, economic and social policy in Australia. New indicators are needed that yield better measures of labour underutilisation and hence provide a better basis for public policy. This thesis develops three new labour market indicators that are then used to re-examine the experience of the South Australian labour market over the period 1989 to 2005. The first section of the thesis provides a critical review of the official Australian Bureau of Statistics labour force indicators, and a range of alternative labour force indicators that have been developed since the 1990s. This discussion leads to the development of three new labour force indicators with the particular characteristic of providing broad accessibility for labour market analysts and policy makers including those who generally are not literate in econometric techniques. The second section uses these labour force indicators to re-examine, and re-interpret, the experience of the South Australian labour market over the period 1989 to 2005. The third section draws conclusions from this analysis, arguing in particular that the actual level of labour underutilisation in South Australia is about treble the level that is obtained from either the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate or the trend unemployment rate. Some key policy implications of this finding are then discussed." -- abstract, pages x-xi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the evolution of Australian unemployment law and policy across the past 100 years. It poses the question 'How does unemployment happen?'. But it poses it in a particular way. How do we regulate work relationships, gather statistics, and administer a social welfare system so as to produce something we call 'unemployment'? And how has that changed over time? Attempts to sort workers into discrete categories – the 'employed', the 'unemployed', those 'not in the labour force' – are fraught, and do not always easily correspond with people's working lives. Across the first decades of the twentieth century, trade unionists, statisticians and advocates of social insurance in Australia as well as Britain grappled with the problem of which forms of joblessness should be classified as 'unemployment' and which should not. This book traces those debates. It also chronicles the emergence and consolidation of a specific idea of unemployment in Australia after the Second World War. It then charts the eventual unravelling of that idea, and relates that unravelling to the changing ways of ordering employment relationships. In doing so, Inventing Unemployment challenges the preconception that casual work, self-employment, and the 'gig economy' are recent phenomena. Those forms of work confounded earlier attempts to define 'unemployment' and are again unsettling our contemporary understandings of joblessness. This thought-provoking book shows that the category of 'unemployment', rather than being a taken-for-granted economic variable, has its own history, and that history is intimately related to our changing understandings of 'employment'.

Download or read book The Work/life Collision written by Barbara Pocock and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longer working hours, insecure jobs, child care, declining birth rates, parental leave, the 'mummy track', the success or failure of feminism - the levels of passion, vitriol, despair and guilt these subjects engender attest to the importance Australians place on them, and rightly so. Their effects go beyond how we feel: they affect vital economic and demographic trends. The Work/Life Collision, grounded in thorough quantitative and qualitative research, analyses how these factors affect each other, in particular the collision of work and care and its implications for how we live. Pocock demonstrates how the existing 'work/care' regime that shapes how we live and work has high social costs - for mothers, fathers, families and those who want to be both workers and carers. She weighs the hidden costs of how we live and work now - costs that can be measured in bedrooms, kitchens, workplaces and streetscapes - and in our declining birth rate and embedded gender inequality. The Work/Life Collision goes further than just explaining our growing anxiety about quality of life, despite the evidence of unmatched material wealth. Pocock proposes ways in which a new 'work/care' regime can be built, through: the redistribution of working hours the rehabilitation of degraded and insecure part-time jobs a new system of leave from paid work, and better support for mothers, fathers and all kinds of dependants. She guides us through the real experiences of Australian households and points to a uniquely Australian solution to a fairer world.
