The potential for long-term settlement problems for vulnerable refugee groups has serious implications for the wider Australian community in terms of social cohesion and the weakening of the social fabric. Concern has been expressed by service providers and refugee and migrant communities, about the social and economic consequences of the failure to adequately respond to the needs of these refugees, most of who come from traumatic backgrounds. The research will identify models of best practice service provision and will analyse the role these play in supporting and accelerating successful integration and in promoting social harmony in our diverse cultural society.Read moreRead less

This project examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis on the working futures of young women and men in three advanced market economies where the pandemic hit with varying degrees of severity. Young people have experienced the greatest upheaval of all workers, and the impact has been gendered. Recovery strategies will have lasting consequences for women’s and men’s working futures. The project will produce macro-level mapping of post-pandemic national work/care regimes, and micro-level survey data on young people’s experience of and attitudes to the future of work in Australia, the UK and Japan, to deliver insights on the gendered economic and social impact of the pandemic and inform a more inclusive global recovery.Read moreRead less
