A society divided: a multilevel approach for understanding socio-economic opportunity and vulnerability

尽管自1990年代初以来经济强劲，但澳大利亚社会的社会经济结果仍然参差不齐。这些不均衡的结果给个人、社区和社会本身带来了巨大的代价。至关重要的是，政策需要了解这些不均衡结果的驱动因素的多面性，以减轻负面成本。在综合多层次研究方法的过程中，该项目旨在增进对目标明确和有效的政策干预措施的理解。它结合了受过经济学和社会学培训的研究人员的技能和知识，他们的合作是ARC研究网络内形成的联系的直接结果。

Despite a strong economy since the early 1990s uneven socioeconomic outcomes remain characteristic of Australian society. The costs to individuals, communities and society itself of these uneven outcomes are significant. Crucially policy needs understand the multi-dimensional nature of the drivers of these uneven outcomes so as to ameliorate the negative cost. In its integration of multilevel research methodologies this project aims to advance understandings of well targeted and effective policy interventions. It combines the skills and knowledge of researchers trained in economics and sociology, whose collaboration is a direct result of a linkage formed within an ARC research network.
