This project aims to address the chronic and ongoing underrepresentation of men in front line, low paid occupations in the Health Care and Social Assistance Sector by exploring how men already employed in the sector overcome the barriers to participating in such jobs. Utilising a qualitative methodology, this project expects to generate new theoretical and practical knowledge in the areas of critical studies of men and masculinity and labour market transitions. Expected outcomes include producing a better understanding of men in the low paid care work labour market. This should provide significant benefits in relation to tackling the serious current and projected shortages of personal and aged/disability carers in the coming years.

该项目旨在探讨已在该部门就业的男子如何克服参与此类工作的障碍，从而解决保健和社会援助部门一线低薪职业中男子长期和持续代表性不足的问题。该项目采用定性方法，预计将在男子和男子气概以及劳动力市场转型的批判性研究领域产生新的理论和实践知识。预期成果包括更好地了解男子在低薪护理工作劳动力市场的情况。这将为解决未来几年个人和老年/残疾护理人员目前和预计严重短缺的问题带来重大好处。
