Labour Market and Health Dynamics of Australia's Front Line Workers

澳大利亚的一线工作人员在最需要的时候就在那里，但他们面临着巨大的健康风险。随着自然灾害的增加，这些风险预计会增加，而COVID-19大流行加剧了这些担忧。该项目将对以人口为基础的行政数据应用计量经济学方法，以研究(1)招聘和保留这些职业的决定因素和模式；(2)遭受重大灾害对劳动力市场和健康结果的影响；(3)疫情对劳动力市场和健康结果的影响。该项目将提供见解，为旨在保护一线工人健康和满足未来劳动力需求的政策提供信息。

Australia’s front line workers are there in times of greatest need, but face significant health risks. These risks are expected to increase with the predicted growth in natural disasters, and these concerns have been heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic. This project will apply econometric methods to population-based administrative data to study (1) the determinants and patterns of recruitment and retention into these occupations, (2) how labour market and health outcomes are impacted by exposure to major disasters; and (3) the impact of the pandemic on labour market and health outcomes. The project will provide insights that can inform policies designed to protect the health of front line workers and meet future workforce demands.
