This project aims to examine how the Australian labour market has adjusted over the past 30 years to several major developments: increased use of computers, growth in international trade and the mining boom, microeconomic reform, and the expansion of higher education. The analysis is designed to encompass the effect on labour market outcomes including workers’ pay, the skill composition of employment, migration flows and individuals’ decisions about acquiring education. Having a richer understanding of how the labour market has adjusted in the past may help policy-makers to infer how adjustment will happen in the future. For example, a better understanding of the effects of new technologies would provide a stronger basis for judging trends in job creation and hence the types of skills and training that will be required in Australia in future years.

该项目旨在研究澳大利亚劳动力市场在过去30年中是如何适应几项重大发展的：计算机使用的增加、国际贸易的增长和采矿业的繁荣、微观经济改革以及高等教育的扩大。分析旨在涵盖对劳动力市场结果的影响，包括工人的工资、就业的技能构成、移民流动和个人关于获得教育的决定。对劳动力市场过去如何调整有更深入的了解，可能有助于决策者推断未来将如何进行调整。例如，更好地了解新技术的影响将为判断创造就业机会的趋势以及澳大利亚未来几年所需的技能和培训类型提供更有力的基础。
