In 2010, the Australian Work and Life Index asks who wants to work more, who wants to work less, and what are the implications for the workforce of the future? What are the prospects for increasing the hours that older Australians work? We also explore the issues of holidays: who takes them, who stockpiles them, and how does this affect work-life outcomes?
EVENT OVERVIEW
How much should we work? - Launch of the Australian Work and
Life Index 2010
As Australia seeks to increase participation in paid work, how
much do Australian workers want to work? Join CEDA in partnership
with Safework SA to hear answers to these questions as we host the
national launch of new research investigating recent experiences of
workers from workplaces across Australia.
How much should we work? Working hours,
holidays and working life: the participation challenge. The
Australian Work and Life Index 2010 is the latest annual
national survey of work-life interaction amongst working
Australians from the Centre for Work + Life at the University of
South Australia.
The report analyses the March 2010 survey of 2800 workers who
answered questions related to work-life balance and their use of
leave, and draws upon four consecutive years of AWALI data to
examine the policy implications of work-life patterns in
Australia.
The Australian Work and Life Index (AWALI) commenced in 2007 and
provides a unique national bench-mark of work-life outcomes by sex,
age, geographic location, employment characteristics and other
social demographics.
The national launch, is hosted by CEDA and the AWALI
industry partners SafeWork SA and the Western Australian Department
of Health. AWALI is part of an Australian Research Council Linkage
project.
