Funded Activity Summary

The effects of child disability on carer's labour market outcomes in Australia. Increasing prevalence of children with disabilities in Australia accompanied by lack of research makes this study imperative. The innovative approach adopted in this project means there will be a number of national benefits resulting from this study. - It will help governments in Australia make more informed policies toward providing assistance to affected families, which will reduce the burden on families caring for children with disabilities. - More informed policy will improve the well-being of such children. - It will advance knowledge in the fields of labour and health economics, and econometrics, and hence enhance Australian research reputation in the fields.
