Low Paid Services Employment in Australia: Dimensions, Causes, Effects and Responses

该项目汇集了学术研究人员，以及那些在工会和福利部门帮助和倡导低收入的人，以发展对澳大利亚低收入服务部门工作的了解。该项目超越了现有的理论和实证工作，通过性别、空间、纵向和家庭分析，研究了工资和福利制度的交叉影响。该项目将审查代表性家庭类型中劳动力市场、福利制度、社区和家庭结构之间的动态相互作用，分析日益增长的服务部门中低工资和社会排斥之间的关系，并评价政策反应。

The project brings together academic researchers, with those who assist and advocate for the low paid in both the union and welfare sectors, to develop understanding about low paid services sector work in Australia. The project goes beyond existing theoretical and empirical work by examining intersecting wage and welfare system effects, through a gendered, spatial, longitudinal, and household analysis. The project will examine the dynamic interactions of the labour market, welfare system, community and family structures, in representative household types, analysing relationships between low pay and social exclusion in the growing services sector, and evaluating policy responses.
