Relationships in a new country
Australia's approach to immigration, as internationally, is largely concerned with state sovereignty, border protection and restrictionism towards asylum seekers. However, with just under a million refugees currently residing in Australia, and with 13,750 more added to this number each year, there is also an interest in ensuring that those who are granted humanitarian protection are socially integrated. This article reports on a qualitative inves…
Sanctioning Policies-Australian, American and British Cross-National Reflections and Comparisons
Over the last two decades welfare policies have undergone major reforms in Anglo-Western nations such as the U.S., U.K. and Australia. Central to these reforms have been the revision of welfare recipient entitlements and responsibilities and the emergence of a responsibility and obligations agenda. The essence of this agenda is conditionality and reciprocity, and it includes the threat of punitive sanctions for failing to comply with mandatory pa…
Setting responsible pathways
Australian youth income support and educational policies have focused on increasing participation and retention in schools. The assumptions and rationales underpinning these policies assert a positive relationship between educational engagement, employment and social inclusion. This paper examines these assumptions and rationales and, drawing upon Australian and international research (particularly the UK) over the past decade, questions the effi…
Challenging the youth policy imperative
This paper challenges the orientations and assumptions underpinning policies for disadvantaged young people (DYP) in Australia. We argue that policy interventions for young people generally exhibit a binary divide, some policies fostering leadership and creative endeavours targeted on ‘high-functioning’ young people, especially within educational and arts milieus, while other policies, focusing on DYP, take a remedial orientation. The basis for t…
Young people on the margins
Drawing upon empirical data from four research projects undertaken in Adelaide, South Australia, we examine the cumulative effects of deprivation on the lives of young people. Utilising a social exclusion framework for analysis we demonstrate the dynamic interplay between the various dimensions of social exclusion. We present the experiences and 'voices' of young people and service providers to highlight the acute nature of social marginalisation…
Unemployment and civic responsibility in Australia
The Coalition party's victory at the 1996 Australian federal election has inaugurated a radical shift in social policy. A ‘new deal’ regarding social welfare entitlements is emerging, especially regarding recipient obligations. This article argues that policy shifts, such as the newly implemented volunteer option for the unemployed, reflects free market ideology and establishes a new social contractual relationship between recipients of social se…
