Funded Activity Summary

Labour Market and Health Dynamics of Australia's Front Line Workers. Australia’s front line workers are there in times of greatest need, but face significant health risks. These risks are expected to increase with the predicted growth in natural disasters, and these concerns have been heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic. This project will apply econometric methods to population-based administrative data to study (1) the determinants and patterns of recruitment and retention into these occupations, (2) how labour market and health outcomes are impacted by exposure to major disasters; and (3) the impact of the pandemic on labour market and health outcomes. The project will provide insights that can inform policies designed to protect the health of front line workers and meet future workforce demands.
