Material well-being in the Australian welfare state

该项目将使用澳大利亚统计局关于收入、财富和时间使用的数据来构建当代澳大利亚物质幸福的图景。研究结果将显示物质幸福与生命周期的各个阶段、家庭类型以及相对富裕和相对贫困之间的关系。将把这些结果与澳大利亚一项基于20世纪80年代末数据的类似研究进行比较。还将尝试进行国际比较。研究结果为公共政策，特别是福利政策提供了重要的指导方针。

This project will use Australian Bureau of Statistics data on incomes, wealth and time use to construct a picture of material well-being in contemporary Australia. The results will show how material well-being relates to stages in the life cycle, to family types, and to relative affluence and relative poverty. Comparisons will be drawn between these results and a similar Australian study based on data from the late 1980s. International comparisons will also be attempted. The findings provide important guidelines for public policy and especially for welfare policy.
