abstract: 'Housing, employment and economic conditions in many nations have changed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
greatly over the past decades. This paper explores the ways in which
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
changing housing markets, economic conditions and government policies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have affected vulnerable individuals and households, using Australia as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a case study. The paper finds a substantial number and proportion of low
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income Australians have been affected by housing and employment that is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
insecure with profound implications for vulnerability. Importantly, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paper suggests that in Australia the economic gains achieved as a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consequence of mining-related growth in the early 2000s were translated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as greater employment security for some on low incomes, but not all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enhanced access to employment in this period was differentiated by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender, with women largely missing out on the growth in jobs. For the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
population as a whole, employment gains were offset by increased housing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
insecurity as accommodation costs rose. The paper finds low income lone
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parents were especially vulnerable because they were unable to benefit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from a buoyant labour market over the decade 2000-2010. They were also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adversely affected by national policy changes intended to encourage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
engagement with paid work. The outcomes identified for Australia are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likely to have been mirrored in other nations, especially those that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have embraced, or been forced to adopt, more restrictive welfare and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income support regimes.'
