Work, income, spending, and wellbeing in Australia: A multi-level, longitudinal analysis of individuals and households

关于收入对幸福感影响的社会科学研究是大量的，然而，这些研究在很大程度上忽略了五个关键因素。这些因素包括：人们为创造收入所做的工作；他们如何使用收入；对身体和社会健康的影响；对家庭的影响；以及多层次的因果关系。该项目旨在利用澳大利亚家庭、收入和劳动力动态数据库，通过一种新的福利模型——工作-收入-支出-效应（WISE）模型来解决所有这些因素。该项目还旨在展示在澳大利亚公众、组织和政策制定者参与的新范式中，工作、收入、支出和多种福利之间的权衡。

Social science research on the effects of income on wellbeing is substantial, however, this research has largely missed five crucial factors. These factors include: the work people do to generate income; how they use income; effects on physical and social wellbeing; effects at the household level; and causal effects at multiple levels. This project aims to address all of these factors with a new model of wellbeing, the Work-Income-Spending-Effects (WISE) model, and utilises the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia database. This project also aims to demonstrate trade-offs among work, income, spending, and multiple types of wellbeing within a new paradigm for engaging the Australian public, organisations, and policy makers.
