Tracing young people's entry and retention in the Australian agriculture sector
The migration of rural youth to urban areas for employment opportunities has been a central scholarship focus on young people in rural and regional contexts. While leaving has often been characterised as a normative transition toward achieving socially accepted visions of adulthood, recent contributions to the rural mobilities literature challenge the assumption that leaving equates to success. These works call for renewed attention to the lived …
Teacher retention and attrition
This study investigates the key factors driving teachers to leave the profession and the impact of exiting on their subsequent work-life balance, job satisfaction, and well-being. Using data from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics of Australia (HILDA) Survey, which tracks individuals over two decades, we analyse the career trajectories and wellbeing of former teachers. Our findings indicate that teachers often leave the profession due to hi…
Working from Home, Covid-19, and Job Satisfaction
This article examines the impact of the growth in the incidence of working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic on workers' job satisfaction. Using longitudinal data collected in 2019 and 2021 as part of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, fixed-effects models of job satisfaction are estimated. Changes in the share of total weekly work hours usually worked from home are not found to have any significant associ…
The rural–urban poverty gap in England after the 2008 financial crisis
A rural–urban poverty gap exists in most countries around the world, and this paper employs a novel approach to explain this difference, using logistic regression to examine the effects of rural–urban residence type, individual socio-economic and demographic characteristics, and changes in government policies on the likelihood of being poor in England. Unusually, rural areas in England have lower poverty rates than urban areas, so the direction o…
Quantifying the human impact of Melbourne's 111-day hard lockdown experiment on the adult population
Lockdown was used worldwide to mitigate the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and was the cornerstone non-pharmaceutical intervention of zero-COVID strategies. Many previous impact evaluations of lockdowns are unreliable because lockdowns co-occurred with severe coronavirus disease related health and financial insecurities. This was not the case in Melbourne's 111-day lockdown, which left other Australian jurisdictions una…
The Intergenerational Transmission of Mental and Physical Health in Australia
Promoting good health across the life course is high on countries agenda. There is a growing evidence base that health is correlated across generations. We examine the persistence of physical and mental health status across generations and explore how different early life factors and adult outcomes impact on this association. In particular, we focus on childhood disadvantage and childhood health, educational attainment, and social mobility measur…
The impact of lockdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic on fertility intentions
Investigating the impact on mental wellbeing of an increase in pensions
In 1997 approximately two million people aged 60 years or over were living poverty in the UK. In 1999 the UK Government raised real pension incomes of low-income pensioners by around a third through the introduction of the Minimum Income Guarantee (MIG). This study explores the implications of this change for pensioners' mental wellbeing with a focus on differences by area level deprivation in England. We explore mental wellbeing outcomes of 205 …
An age-period-cohort approach to disentangling generational differences in family values and religious beliefs
Over the last few decades, Australian families have undergone profound changes, including fewer marriages, more divorces, and an increase in double-income families, resulting in a qualitative shift in understanding the family today
An Age-Period-Cohort Approach to the Incidence and Evolution of Overeducation and Skills Mismatch
Poverty dynamics in Rural Britain 1991–2008
Measuring Occupational Mismatch
Occupational mismatch has been a hot topic in the economics literature in the last decades, but still today there is no consensus on how to conceptualize and measure this phenomenon. We explore the unique opportunity offered by the recent PIAAC survey to measure occupational mismatch at individual level based on both education variables (overeducation) and on skills proficiency variables (overskilling), using both objective and subjective methods…
Farmers' Contribution to Agricultural Social Capital
Social capital is the whole set of shared norms, values, attitudes, and beliefs that promote cooperation among individuals within the community and that has proved to be a key factor in explaining development processes. This article aims to provide an analytically reliable notion of social capital within the farming sector and a methodological tool for empirically measuring how social capital is accumulated at the farmer level. The theoretical fr…
Are Theories About Social Capital Empirically Supported? Evidence from the Farming Sector
Percepción social de los derechos de propiedad agroambiental. El caso de Andalucía

A partir de la información suministrada por la encuesta “Opinión pública, agricultura y sociedad rural en Andalucía. Agrobarómetro 2005”, se analiza empíricamente la percepción social de los derechos de propiedad agroambiental, entendidos como instituciones dinámicas so…

The Dynamics of Low Income in Rural Areas
PHIMISTER E., UPWARD R. and VERA-T OSCANO E. (2000) The dynamics of low income in rural areas, Reg. Studies 34 , 407-417. This paper provides a picture of the dynamics of low income in rural areas by comparing a rural sample with a non-rural sample using the British Household Panel Survey. The paper considers income distributions and inequality, low income mobility, the distribution of low income spells, the characteristics of those on low income…
