Industrial relations, gender equity and work/family balance: assessing the impact of changing law and practice in Queensland (2007-2009)

Abstract

This project is designed to assess the impact of changing industrial relations law and practice on gender equity and work/family balance in Queensland. It seeks enhanced understanding of the complex relationships between industrial relations frameworks, business adaptations and outcomes for employees; focusing in particular on the way these relationships vary across sectors and regions. An innovative research design will track a panel of workplaces and their employees over three years, complementing aggregate statistics with in-depth longitudinal evidence. The research is highly significant as industrial regulation in Australia undergoes major change, and offers a new level of evidence to inform policy.'',
