Low Paid Services Employment in Australia: Dimensions, Causes, Effects and Responses

该项目将学术研究人员与那些在工会和福利部门协助和倡导低收入者的人聚集在一起，以加深对澳大利亚低收入服务部门工作的了解。该项目超越了现有的理论和实证工作，通过性别、空间、纵向和家庭分析，检查了工资和福利制度的交叉影响。该项目将审查劳动力市场、福利制度、社区和家庭结构在具有代表性的家庭类型中的动态相互作用，分析不断增长的服务部门的低工资与社会排斥之间的关系，并评价政策反应。

The project brings together academic researchers, with those who assist and advocate for the low paid in both the union and welfare sectors, to develop understanding about low paid services sector work in Australia. The project goes beyond existing theoretical and empirical work by examining intersecting wage and welfare system effects, through a gendered, spatial, longitudinal, and household analysis. The project will examine the dynamic interactions of the labour market, welfare system, community and family structures, in representative household types, analysing relationships between low pay and social exclusion in the growing services sector, and evaluating policy responses.
