There is currently a shortage of registered nurses in Australia. To date, however, there has been only limited detailed micro-level analysis of the nursing workforce. In this project, we will use microeconomic and advanced econometric tools to investigate a number of important issues related to nursing and help inform the policy debate. In particular, we will examine trends in workforce participation of nurses, the determinants of nurse labour supply and job turnover and provide a comparative analysis of wages of nurses with other similar occupational groups. Throughout the project, we will provide special attention to designing policies aimed at promoting nurse labour supply in rural areas. Promoting an adequate supply of registered nurses is central to meeting the National Research Priority of 'Promoting and Maintaining Good Health'.

目前澳大利亚注册护士短缺。然而，到目前为止，只有有限的详细的微观层面的分析护理劳动力。在这个项目中，我们将使用微观经济学和先进的计量经济学工具来调查一些与护理相关的重要问题，并帮助为政策辩论提供信息。我们特别会研究护士参与工作的趋势、护士劳工供应的决定因素和职位流失率，并将护士的工资与其他类似职业组别的工资作一比较分析。在整个项目中，我们将特别注意制定旨在促进农村地区护士劳动力供应的政策。促进注册护士的充足供应是实现“促进和保持良好健康”的国家研究优先事项的核心。
