New directions in health inequalities research: understanding the intersection between housing, employment and health in Australia

在澳大利亚，临时受雇的人生活在承受住房负担压力的家庭中的可能性，几乎是长期受雇的人的三倍。就业和住房都是健康的决定因素。尽管社会包容、就业和住房负担能力是政府当前社会政策议程的关键组成部分，但这些政策领域之间的联系有限，研究也很少。这项重要的研究将提供强有力的证据，说明住房和就业如何相互作用，造成和预防健康不平等。这将使向弱势群体提供服务的机构直接受益，并有助于为政策制定者提供受益的证据基础。

People employed on a casual basis in Australia are nearly three times more likely to live in a household that is in housing affordability stress than their permanently employed counterparts. Employment and housing are both determinants of health. While social inclusion, employment and housing affordability are critical components of the government's current social policy agenda, articulation between these policy domains is limited and little researched. This important study will provide robust evidence on the ways that housing and employment interact to both cause and prevent health inequities. This will directly benefit agencies delivering services to vulnerable people and contribute to an evidence base of benefit to policy makers.
