People employed on a casual basis in Australia are nearly three times more likely to live in a household that is in housing affordability stress than their permanently employed counterparts. Employment and housing are both determinants of health. While social inclusion, employment and housing affordability are critical components of the government's current social policy agenda, articulation between these policy domains is limited and little researched. This important study will provide robust evidence on the ways that housing and employment interact to both cause and prevent health inequities. This will directly benefit agencies delivering services to vulnerable people and contribute to an evidence base of benefit to policy makers.

在澳大利亚，临时就业的人生活在住房负担能力紧张的家庭中的可能性是永久就业者的近三倍。就业和住房都是健康的决定因素。虽然社会包容、就业和住房负担能力是政府当前社会政策议程的重要组成部分，但这些政策领域之间的衔接有限，研究也很少。这项重要的研究将提供强有力的证据，说明住房和就业相互作用的方式，以引起和防止卫生不平等。这将使向弱势群体提供服务的机构直接受益，并有助于为决策者提供有益的证据基础。
