The importance of recognition: Predictors and Outcomes of Carer Recognition Among Working Carers of Ageing Relatives
Co-designing alternative frames of ageing and experiences of challenging ageism in Australia
Ageism is an ongoing pervasive issue that can be difficult to challenge. The aims of this study were to co-design alternative frames about aging in a workshop and to explore the process participants went through using these to challenge ageism in their communities over a three-month period. Participatory action research combined with co-design were used. Full-day workshops involving 27 participants across urban and regional Australia introduced p…
Attitudes towards Australia's baby boomers and intergenerational equity
Australia's Intergenerational Reports (2010, 2015) make a case for restraining public expenditure on an ageing population given the sizeable post-WWII baby boom cohort, increasing longevity, and uncertain economic prospects for younger generations. There also is concern for major disparities within older and younger generations resulting from cumulative advantages or disadvantages over the life course. Drawing on national survey data from the Att…
Australian attitudes to intergenerational equity: Impacts of social and policy change
Attitudes to ageing can predispose decision-making as governments, interest groups and electorates negotiate competing demands in the context of economic constraints and social change. This paper, based on national survey data, investigates change and stability in Australian attitudes to intergenerational equity from 2009–2010 to 2015–2017, alongside concurrent socio-economic and policy change as well as cohort succession. The emphasis is on the …
Selection, adaptation and advantage. Later-life health and wellbeing of English migrants to Australia
This study investigates the long-term impact of English adult migration to Australia by comparing health and wellbeing outcomes in later life of English migrants to their counterparts who remained in England (non-migrants) and to native-born Australians. It traces the influence of selection, adaptation and advantage as three mechanisms that can influence migrant health in later life. The analysis utilises data for a cohort aged 60–64 years from t…

Assessing the Process of Retirement: A Cross-Cultural Review of Available Measures
Older Workers and Caregiving in a Global Context
Pathways to Well-Being in Later Life: Socioeconomic and Health Determinants Across the Life Course of Australian Baby Boomers
In many countries like Australia and the United States, baby boomers are referred to as the 'lucky cohort', yet there has been little research on the origins and extent of inequalities within this cohort. This study uses path analysis to investigate direct and indirect effects of childhood and adult socioeconomic status and health on two subjective well-being measures: quality of life and life satisfaction. Retrospective life course data were obt…
Australian baby boomers retiring ‘early’: Understanding the benefits of retirement preparation for involuntary and voluntary retirees
The Health Impact of a Hearing Disability on Older People in Australia
Data support emerging literature suggesting a causal relationship between hearing disability and quality of life. Prospective studies to further examine this relationship are indicated
Ageing Baby Boomers in Australia: Evidence Informing Actions for Better Retirement
The first Australian baby boomers are starting to retire. Consequently, it is essential to develop and apply a strong evidence base to facilitate their successful retirement and ongoing wellbeing. This review focuses on recent literature on pre‐retirement baby boomers to identify available research findings and gaps to be filled on retirement preparation. A notable shortage of empirical literature was found on pathways to retirement and financial…
From industrial citizen to therapeutic client: The 1987 workers' compensation 'reforms' in NSW
This paper examines parliamentary political debates associated with the introduction of the 1987 workers’ compensation ‘reforms’ in New South Wales (NSW). It shows that the ‘reforms’ were introduced by a Labor government to control and reduce the ‘burden of cost’ associated with employers’ insurance premiums; and that this was to be achieved by greater regulation of the work injury experience of individuals. This mainly involved restricting injur…
