Australia currently sends $47billion on income support programs, assisting 5.1 million people facing economic hardship. The aims of the project are to improve our understanding of economic poverty in Australia and contribute new methods to the field of poverty analysis. The analysis will include an assessment of the effectiveness of public programs targeted to the poor, and an evaluation of recent reforms to income support programs. The project will also reveal the critical methodological assumptions underlying our current perceptions of poverty. This research will ultimately contribute to more effective poverty alleviation and income support programs in Australia.

澳大利亚目前为收入支持计划提供了 470 亿澳元，帮助 510 万名面临经济困难的人。该项目的目的是提高我们对澳大利亚经济贫困的了解，并为贫困分析领域贡献新方法。分析将包括评估针对穷人的公共计划的有效性，以及评估最近的收入支持计划改革。该项目还将揭示我们当前对贫困的看法背后的关键方法论假设。这项研究最终将有助于澳大利亚更有效的扶贫和收入支持计划。
