Charting work, life and well-being after the auto industry

这个项目旨在研究工业衰退的影响。澳大利亚最后几家汽车制造商计划在2016-17年关闭当地汽车组装业务，这是澳大利亚经济和社会远离制造业的重大结构性变化的一部分。本项目将记录墨尔本和基隆的汽车员工和零部件制造商如何应对这一转变。它还将探讨联邦和维多利亚州政府的过渡安排如何保障制造业技能和职业，减轻受关闭影响社区的社会经济劣势，并防止工人及其家庭陷入不稳定状态。

This project aims to study the effects of industrial decline. Plans by Australia's last remaining car-makers to close local automotive assembly operations by 2016-17 are part of a major structural change in Australia’s economy and society away from manufacturing. This project will document how automotive employees and components manufacturers in Melbourne and Geelong contend with the transition. It will also explore how Federal and Victorian State government transitional arrangements can safeguard manufacturing skills and occupations, mitigate socio-economic disadvantage in closure-affected communities and prevent workers and their families from sliding into precarity.
