Using a sample of Australians who display high rates of early school-leaving, we compare the trajectories of respondents who left school at each incremental age between 14 and 17 with respondents who left at 18 years old or more, in terms of homelessness, incarceration, substance use and mental...

How has the distribution of unpaid working time between men and women evolved over the last twenty years? Does unpaid working time still disproportionately affect women, more than fifty years after the massive entry of the female labour force into formal employment? And, if so, which market and...

Using a sample of Australians who display high rates of early school-leaving, we compare the trajectories of respondents who left school at each incremental age between 14 and 17 with respondents who left at 18 years old or more, in terms of homelessness, incarceration, substance use and mental...

Around 50 years ago, the Netherlands decriminalized cannabis for recreational use. This paper uses retrospective data on the ages at which individuals began and ceased cannabis use to reconstruct its prevalence in Amsterdam during the period surrounding the policy change. This approach enables a...

This study employs 2011 Census data linked to population-based administrative datasets to explore disparities in educational attainment and earnings trajectories among Australian-born children of diverse parental migration backgrounds from mid-adolescence to early adulthood. Non-English Speaking...

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) on dental visits among eligible children and adolescents in Australia. The study analysed the data set from the birth cohort (B cohort) in the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC). A...

This study investigates the medical condition of Australian children aged 4 to 14 years and the impact of prenatal and early-life conditions on these health conditions, using a large national data set (n=4,122) with 15 years of follow-up. Consistent with the developmental origins of health and...

Using a sample of disadvantaged Australians, we compare trajectories of those who left school before 18 with those who left later, in terms of homelessness, incarceration, substance use and mental health issues. We estimate a staggered difference-in-difference to account for heterogenous...

Child penalties in labour market outcomes are well-documented: after childbirth, employment and earnings of mothers drop persistently compared to fathers. Beyond gender norms, a potential driver could be the loss in labour market skills due to mothers' longer employment interruptions. This paper...

Using a specially constructed international dataset of adult heights, we assess the extent, drivers and consequences of migrant selectivity, measured as relative height. This offers a measure of health selectivity that precedes emigration and is stable over time. Applying this measure to...

The "European" agricultural model introduced during the first British settlement in 1788 proved unsuitable for the very different Australian environment, forcing farmers to adapt creatively. This study examines how climate shaped such adaptive behavior in wheat farming in Australia from the...

This study examines the wine revenues of the Rákóczi family and the exchange rates of wines stored in their cellars destined for foreign markets, based on surviving sources from the period between 1660 and 1709. The Rákóczi family, of Transylvanian princely descent, was among the largest...

The context for the study reported here is the Australian local government sector, specifically rural and regional councils that operate in isolated and remote areas with limited staffing and resources. Within this sector, 4IR technologies are transforming service delivery, jobs, and skill...

This article employs two alternative approaches based on input-output tables to re-evaluate key Australian industries and their interconnections. The first approach utilizes traditional linkages, while the second approach employs machine learning methods. Data come from the OECD database for...
