Book Description

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.

Book Description

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'.

Book Description

'Seldom has a senior public servant been so candid. As a key policymaker, Meredith Edwards takes us inside the process to reveal how we get the policies the affect so much of our lives.' - Paul Kelly, International Editor, The Australian 'This innovative and important volume, unique in the policy literature, provides ideas and case studies of interest to everyone who cares about the quality of Australian public policy. It will be an indispensable guide to past choices, and its lessons should help shape future Australian social policy decisions.' - Dr Glyn Davis, co-author of The Australian Policy Handbook How are social policies conceived, developed and put into practice? Based on four case studies of social policy reforms in which the author was a major player (the Child Support Scheme, AUSTUDY, the Higher Education Contribution scheme (HECS) and long-term employment policies presented as 'Working Nation') Social Policy, Public Policy provides insights into what is often otherwise seen as a 'black box' on how policy advice occurs. Meredith Edwards' personal experience, revealed in extracts from her journal, provides a picture of what social policy participants actually do, something on which too little has been written. Questions addressed in the book include: How was the policy problem identified and articulated and by whom? What were the key ingredients in policy analysis? When did consultation occur and in what form? How was the policy decision arrived at? What were the events between decision and implementation? And what evaluation processes occurred? Social Policy, Public Policy is essential reading for all students of public policy and policy advisers.
