Funded Activity Summary

Charting work, life and well-being after the auto industry. This project aims to study the effects of industrial decline. Plans by Australia's last remaining car-makers to close local automotive assembly operations by 2016-17 are part of a major structural change in Australia’s economy and society away from manufacturing. This project will document how automotive employees and components manufacturers in Melbourne and Geelong contend with the transition. It will also explore how Federal and Victorian State government transitional arrangements can safeguard manufacturing skills and occupations, mitigate socio-economic disadvantage in closure-affected communities and prevent workers and their families from sliding into precarity.
