Funded Activity Summary

Casual Fertility Consequences: The Role of Non-Standard Employment (NSE). This project aims to investigate the role of temporary, casual, part-time paid work (non-standard employment) on Australians’ fertility behaviour (childbirth intentions and outcomes). It expects to use high-quality longitudinal data, engage in novel quasi-experiments (policy changes) to identify new causal mechanisms and pathways between employment types and fertility. Expected outcomes include a novel interdisciplinary theoretical framework, most up-to-date empirical evidence on this topic in Australia, high-quality research outputs and training, and clear work and family policy recommendations. This should significantly benefit families, communities, governments and organisations to lift productivity.
