Australia’s front line workers are there in times of greatest need, but face significant health risks. These risks are expected to increase with the predicted growth in natural disasters, and these concerns have been heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic. This project will apply econometric methods to population-based administrative data to study (1) the determinants and patterns of recruitment and retention into these occupations, (2) how labour market and health outcomes are impacted by exposure to major disasters; and (3) the impact of the pandemic on labour market and health outcomes. The project will provide insights that can inform policies designed to protect the health of front line workers and meet future workforce demands.Read moreRead less

This project aims to investigate policy failure of gender equality initiatives and specifically, how institutional and individual resistance to gender equality is applied and adapted over time and across different contexts in construction, Australia’s most male dominated sector.

This project should provide significant social and economic benefits to Australia, enabling greater attraction and retention of women to construction jobs, reducing the sectors critical skills shortage.
