SUMMARY:ACOSS Policy Webinar Series: Reducing long-term unemployment
DESCRIPTION:For years\, Australian governments have under-invested in impactful employment services\, and instead have over-invested in compliance systems and penalties affecting people on unemployment payments. We know recessions cast long shadows\, and it will be hard to reduce unemployment much further when over 800\,000 people (three quarters of those on unemployment payments) are unemployed long-term*. \nOnce people have been unemployed for a long time\, it’s harder to break back into paid work. As well as having a gap in their resume\, many people on unemployment payments face barriers to employment such as discrimination on the basis of age or race\, caring roles\, or living in a region with high unemployment. \nThis webinar will explore: \n\nNew research and data on long-term unemployment\, its causes\, and who is affected\nWhat the federal government can do to reduce it\, starting with ‘’full employment’’ policies to generate jobs\, and including employment programs that give people a better chance of picking up the jobs available\n\nJoin us as we discuss key findings of ACOSS’s Faces of Unemployment 2021 report\, which provides a snapshot of people on unemployment payments and the jobs and employment services available to them. This report focuses on long-term unemployment. \nWe will hear from people directly impacted\, research partners\, and experts on policies to strengthen employment and the government’s ‘’New Employment Services’’ due to start next year. \nSpeakers include (more to be announced in the coming weeks): \n\nSandra Elhelw Wright\, Chief Executive Officer\, Settlement Council of Australia\nA presentation from Dr Peter Davidson\, Principal Advisor\, ACOSS\n\n  \n  \n*Over 12 months – measured in terms of long-term receipt of unemployment payment

SUMMARY:Australian Social Policy Conference Session - UNSW/ACOSS Poverty and Inequality Partnership presents: Poverty and inequality in the Covid crisis
DESCRIPTION:Register for free here \nDate: Thursday 4 November \nTime: 02.00PM–04.00PM \nChair: Dr Yuvisthi Naidoo\, UNSW Social Policy Research Centre   \n\nSession overview\nThe Covid crisis has been associated with dramatic changes to the incomes of Australian families. In 2020\, lockdowns led to job losses\, while household incomes were supported by wage subsidies and income support supplements. In 2021\, these supports have been significantly reduced. In this session\, we look at different aspects of the impact of the crisis on family incomes\, in the context of both longer-term trends and international comparisons. \nPresenters\nThe Covid impact on the Australian labour market \nBjorn Jarvis\, ABS \nIncome support and poverty from the turn of the century to the Covid crisis\nA/Prof Bruce Bradbury\, UNSW Social Policy Research Centre \nCOVID Jobseeker and Jobkeeper impacts on poverty under current and alternative policy scenarios\nA/Prof Ben Phillips\, Australian National University (ANU) \nIncome support during the Covid crisis: International perspectives\nProf Peter Whiteford\, Australian National University (ANU) \n‘In this together\, recovering unequally’: Income inequality in the pandemic \nDr Peter Davidson\, ACOSS & UNSW Social Policy Research Centre \nDiscussant\nCharmaine Crowe\, ACOSS \n  \n
