Cultural stratification in the labor market outcomes of university-educated migrants in Australia
Previous studies on segmented assimilation reveal that immigrants from various origin countries follow different labor market pathways and achieve diverse socioeconomic outcomes. This paper extends existing research on migrant integration by investigating how cultural and linguistic proximity to the host society affects labor market outcomes. Utilizing unique, whole-of-population, integrated government data on Australian university graduates (N=8…
Understanding the Settlement and Retention of Humanitarian Migrants in Australia
Despite a strong reliance by the Australian Government on dispersal policies that settle humanitarian migrants in non-metropolitan areas, we know little about the extent of non-metropolitan settlement, the level of retention, and its drivers. To address these knowledge gaps, this study provides new evidence for humanitarian migrants who arrived in Australia between 2006 and 2019 by applying event-history regression analyses to novel longitudinal,…
Educational pathways and earnings trajectories of second-generation immigrants in Australia
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 Background (NESB) second-generation immigrants exhibit superior academic outcomes, primarily driven by children of parents from select Asian countries. T…
The Student Equity in Higher Education Evaluation Framework (Seheef) and its relevance in the context of the Australian Universities Accord
Are Visa-Based Dispersal Policies Effective in Attracting and Retaining Skilled Migrants in Rural Australia
Australia offers regional visa schemes for skilled migrants who reside in nonmetropolitan Australia for a minimum of 2 years to alleviate nonmetropolitan depopulation and skills shortages. To assess the efficacy of this program in attracting and retaining migrants, we apply survival analysis to administrative longitudinal microdata from the Person Level Integrated Data Asset linked to census data from 2010 to 2020. We find that this program attra…
Gender pay gaps across STEM fields of study
Gender pay gaps in earnings are well-documented in the literature. However, new factors contributing to women’s lower earnings have emerged and remain under-researched. Educational choices are among them. We use a rich administrative dataset from Poland, a Central Eastern European country with high tertiary education enrolment and high female employment rates among young women, to study gender pay gaps among tertiary education graduates with degr…
Student mental health and dropout from higher education
Understanding the drivers of student dropout from higher education has been a policy concern for several decades. However, the contributing role of certain factors—including student mental health—remains poorly understood. Furthermore, existing studies linking student mental health and university dropout are limited in both methodology and scope—for example, they often rely on small and/or non-representative samples or subjective measures, and fo…
Retaining Permanent and Temporary Immigrants in Rural Australia
In many low‐fertility countries, immigration is increasingly seen a solution to the twin problem of rural depopulation and skill shortages. In Australia, this takes the form of regional visa schemes that require both skilled and humanitarian migrants to reside initially in nonmetropolitan regions for a minimum of 2 years. In the absence of nationally representative longitudinal data, the efficacy of this policy is yet to be assessed. Applying sur…
The pitfalls and benefits of using administrative data for internal migration research
BACKGROUNDTo enhance its data capability, Australia recently set up a longitudinal administrative micro-dataset, the Person Level Integrated Data Asset (PLIDA). OBJECTIVETo ensure that users in both scholarly and applied settings understand how PLIDA can be reliably used, we assess its Combined Location Module, which provides place of residence by combining three administrative datasets since 2006. METHODSUsing descriptive statistics and regressi…
Disparité des trajectoires professionnelles des diplômés australiens en fonction de leur origine sociale
S'il est de plus en plus établi que les études supérieures améliorent les perspectives professionnelles, l'inégalité de leur rendement suscite des inquiétudes croissantes. Les auteurs utilisent un nouveau jeu de données administratives couplées couvrant l'ensemble des étudiants diplômés d'une université australienne entre 2005 et 2011 pour comparer, sur dix ans, la trajectoire professionnelle de publics défavorisés à l'aune de différents critères…
All that glitters is not gold—Mixed early labour market outcomes of STEM graduates in Poland
The expansion of higher education resulted in a growing interest in post‐graduation labour market outcomes. Two conflicting narratives are present in the debate. The first focuses on the shortage of skills and the need for further expansion of the sector and seems to pertain mostly to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The second revolves around over‐education and mismatch leading to graduate unemployment or underemployment…
Long-Term Trends in Shooting Performance in the NBA
This study aims to depict two-point and three-point shooting trends and explore their influence on game outcomes in the NBA across 40 consecutive seasons. Therefore, the following game-related statistics were considered: total points per game (PPG), games played (GP), field goals made (FGM), field goal attempts (FGA), field goal percentage (FG%), two-point field goals made (2PM), two-point field goal attempts (2PA), two-point field goal percentag…
Uneven impacts of Covid ‐19 on the attendance rates of secondary school students from different socioeconomic backgrounds in Australia
This paper contributes to the growing body of research that demonstrates uneven impacts of the COVID‐19 pandemic on educational outcomes of students from different socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. We evaluate the early impacts of COVID‐19 on student attendance in secondary school and show how these impacts depend on students' SES. We employ a quasi‐experimental design, using difference‐in‐differences (DiD) estimation extended to incorporat…
Effects of Pre-Workout Multi-Ingredient Supplement on Anaerobic Performance
The supplement significantly improves upper and lower body strength and power output in resistance-trained men
The Use of Different Modes of Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) for Enhancing Speed of the Slide-Step in Basketball Players
Background : This study aimed to determine whether 5% of body mass-resisted or assisted conditioning activity (CA) can enhance 5 m slide-step movement performance. Methods : Sixteen division I basketball players participated in this study (23.6 ± 4.4 years; 86.3 ± 5.9 kg; 192.3 ± 6.2 cm; training experience 6.7 ± 2.6 years). The experiment was performed following a randomized crossover design, where each participant performed two different exerci…
