abstract: 'Natural disasters can have significant impacts on the workforce in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
affected regions. There are often widespread disruptions to labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supply due to displacement of people from their jobs, either by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disrupting their place of work or by disrupting a worker''s ability to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attend work. This research aims to investigate the patterns of impact
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that disasters have on the workforce and the employment and livelihood
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
issues that emerge during post-disaster recovery. By using comparative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
case study approach, this research compares recent disaster events,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
including the June 2013 Southern Alberta floods in Canada, the 2010 and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011 Queensland floods in Australia, the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earthquakes in New Zealand, the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tsunami and the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China. It was found that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
common disaster effects on displaced workers included job and worker
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
displacement, loss of income, disruptions to workers'' livelihoods and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
creation of additional participation barriers, particularly for females,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
youth and individuals with lower skill sets. Comparison of different
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disaster events also revealed insights into how disasters can change the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
local labour market structure post-disaster. General economic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditions, sectoral structure as well as business and individual coping
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mechanisms all influence livelihood outcomes for the affected workers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As the post-disaster recovery progresses in Queensland (Australia),
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Canterbury (New Zealand) and Tohoku (Japan), coordination of employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and livelihood initiatives with housing and other welfare policies is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
critical for ensuring that job opportunities are available to everyone,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
especially those with disadvantage.'
