Markets, migration and the work of care in Australia

该项目的目标是加强老年人护理和儿童护理等关键领域社会政策的概念基础。预计儿童保育和老年人护理劳动力短缺以及政府政策转向消费者导向的提供，包括家庭护理，加剧了澳大利亚增加护理移民的呼声。然而，在澳大利亚，人们对护理市场与移徙之间的联系及其对提供护理和护理工作人员的影响知之甚少。该项目旨在从跨国视角解释护理政策、就业监管和移徙之间的联系，产生新的分析见解，并加强政策的证据基础。

The objective of this project is to strengthen the conceptual foundations for social policy in the critical domains of aged care and child care. Projected child care and aged care labour shortages and shifts in government policy towards consumer-directed provision, including in-home care, have intensified calls for increased care migration in Australia. Yet the links between care markets and migration, and their consequences for the provision of care and the care workforce are poorly understood in the Australian context. The project aims to explain the links between care policies, employment regulation and migration in cross-national perspective, generating new analytical insights and strengthening the evidence base for policy.
