Sexual orientation and life chances in contemporary Australia. This project aims to deliver critical policy-relevant quantitative evidence to monitor outcome gaps by sexual orientation. It aims to address the scarcity of information about the extent of socio-economic disparities between heterosexual and non-heterosexual people in Australia.

This project aims to deliver critical policy-relevant quantitative evidence to monitor outcome gaps by sexual orientation. It aims to address the scarcity of information about the extent of socio-economic disparities between heterosexual and non-heterosexual people in Australia.

Parental marital conflict and marital change: effects on child, adolescent and young adult developmental outcomes. Aggressive and/or delinquent behaviour, poor school performance and learning, an inability to develop social relationships or successfully join the workforce have all been related to family structure and family functioning. Unfortunately, current policy is poorly informed as previous studies largely involve clinical samples or small population sub-groups. This study is the only Au ....Parental marital conflict and marital change: effects on child, adolescent and young adult developmental outcomes. Aggressive and/or delinquent behaviour, poor school performance and learning, an inability to develop social relationships or successfully join the workforce have all been related to family structure and family functioning. Unfortunately, current policy is poorly informed as previous studies largely involve clinical samples or small population sub-groups. This study is the only Australian 21 year prospective assessment of the way changes in marriage are impacting on the development of children and adolescents and on the longer term outcomes for young adults.Read moreRead less

This project plans to extend a large longitudinal study of young people in Queensland to investigate the impact of social, political and economic changes on educational, workforce, partnering, family and housing transitions in early adulthood. The project is designed to combine large-scale survey research with in-depth qualitative interviewing to track stability and change in the values, aspirations, health and wellbeing of a cohort of young people who were first surveyed as secondary school students a decade earlier. This aims to inform social policy by identifying factors that promote positive career, relationship, housing and health outcomes for young adults, and those which place young adults at risk of unemployment, tertiary non-completion, residential and relationship instability, and poorer mental and physical wellbeing.Read moreRead less

Improving water market outcomes through a better understanding of market behaviour. The issue of water resources and their sustainable use is probably the most important issue facing the rural sector. The water reform process and its aim to secure water for the environment will cause economic and social pain and result in structural change within the irrigation sector. Properly functioning water markets will play an instrumental role in facilitating this process by providing water for the envir ....Improving water market outcomes through a better understanding of market behaviour. The issue of water resources and their sustainable use is probably the most important issue facing the rural sector. The water reform process and its aim to secure water for the environment will cause economic and social pain and result in structural change within the irrigation sector. Properly functioning water markets will play an instrumental role in facilitating this process by providing water for the environment and allowing water to move between competing resources. This study will enable policy makers and water managers to optimise the positive outcome of water markets and increase the likely success of programs to purchase environmental water.Read moreRead less
