Truck drivers and automation
The transition to autonomous trucks (ATs) is coming, and although it is expected to be gradual, it will create both challenges and opportunities for the existing driver workforce. This paper presents a novel integrated methodology for identifying viable occupational transitions for truck drivers as transport automation advances. Unlike traditional workforce transition analyses that focus primarily on skill similarity, wages, and employment demand…
Accelerated demand for interpersonal skills in the Australian post-pandemic labour market
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a widespread shift to remote work, reducing the level of face-to-face interaction between workers and changing their modes and patterns of communication. This study tests whether this transformation in production processes has been associated with disruptions in the longstanding labour market trend of increasing demand for interpersonal skills. To address this question, we integrate a skills taxonomy with the text…
An algorithm for predicting job vacancies using online job postings in Australia
Timely and accurate statistics on the labour market enable policymakers to rapidly respond to changing economic conditions. Estimates of job vacancies by national statistical agencies are highly accurate but reported infrequently and with time lags. In contrast, online job postings provide a high-frequency indicator of vacancies with less accuracy. In this study we develop a robust signal averaging algorithm to measure job vacancies using online …
Procedural fairness in health financing for universal health coverage
Amid successive shocks to the global economy, persistent inequalities within and between countries and limited availability of public resources, policymakers and the public face pressing decisions that underscore the vital role of procedural fairness in health financing for universal health coverage. This special supplement features eight articles examining the critical relationship between procedural fairness and health financing, drawing from t…
Criteria for the procedural fairness of health financing decisions
Due to constraints on institutional capacity and financial resources, the road to universal health coverage (UHC) involves difficult policy choices. To assist with these choices, scholars and policy makers have done extensive work on criteria to assess the substantive fairness of health financing policies: their impact on the distribution of rights, duties, benefits and burdens on the path towards UHC. However, less attention has been paid to the…
New strides towards fair processes for financing universal health coverage
Fair processes in health financing decisions should not be undervalued or perceived as secondary to the goals of universal health coverage. By integrating fair-process principles and criteria into health financing decisions, countries can achieve more equitable outcomes, strengthen the legitimacy of the decision-making process, build trust in public institutions and promote long-term sustainability of reforms.\n\nProcedural fairness requires a co…
Leaving no one behind? Reaching the informal sector, poor people and marginalised groups with Social Health Protection
Health-system resilience
Disease outbreaks and catastrophes can affect countries at any time, causing substantial human suffering and deaths and economic losses. If health systems are ill-equipped to deal with such situations, the affected populations can be very vulnerable.1 The current Ebola virus disease outbreak in western Africa highlights how an epidemic can proliferate rapidly and pose huge problems in the absence of a strong health system capable of a rapid and i…
Pathways and Crime Prevention
Intermedial Studies
For most of the twentieth century, the printed page and the cinema were two obvious locations for encountering still and moving photography, respectively. In recent decades, though, both forms of photography are often seen on the same computer screens, as well as in the same exhibition spaces traditionally associated with fine art. Such developments have encouraged new reflections both on the specific characteristics of different media and on the…
Deaf Children's Informal Knowledge of Multiplicative Reasoning
Multiplicative reasoning is required in different contexts in mathematics: it is necessary to understand the concept of multipart units, involved in learning place value and measurement, and also to solve multiplication and division problems. Measures of hearing children's multiplicative reasoning at school entry are reliable and specific predictors of their mathematics achievement in school. An analysis of deaf children's informal multiplicative…
Protecting Households From Catastrophic Health Spending
Many countries rely heavily on patients' out-of-pocket payments to providers to finance their health care systems. This prevents some people from seeking care and results in financial catastrophe and impoverishment for others who do obtain care. Surveys in eighty-nine countries covering 89 percent of the world's population suggest that 150 million people globally suffer financial catastrophe annually because they pay for health services. Prepayme…
Determinants of variation in the cost of inpatient stays versus outpatient visits in hospitals
Understanding the impact of eliminating user fees
Capacity constraints to the adoption of new interventions
Information on how health workers spend their time can help programme managers determine whether it is possible to add new services or activities to their schedules and at what cost. One set of interventions with the potential to reduce under-five mortality is training of facility-based health workers according to the guidelines for Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI), along with improvements to supervision, procurement and informat…
Regional welfare weights for the UK
Evans D., Kula E. and Sezer H. (2005) Regional welfare weights for the UK: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Regional Studies 39 , 923–937. In relation to public spending and regional policy, the importance of distributional issues is stressed, and regional welfare weights are derived from an appropriate underlying social welfare function. Estimates of these weights are then provided for the four countries comprising the UK. Welfare …

Should Governments Subsidize the Use of Insecticide-Impregnated Mosquito Nets in Africa? Implications of a Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
Recent large-scale field trials show that mosquito nets impregnated with insecticide can substantially reduce all-cause mortality in children in malaria-endemic areas in Africa. This paper considers the cost-effectiveness of impregnated nets, initially from the perspective of a government programme which would distribute nets free of charge and organize and fund re-impregnation on an annual basis. The calculations show that with the reductions in…
A method for estimating baseline health care costs
STUDY OBJECTIVES--Studies estimating the cost of specific illnesses do not generally take into account the fact that health care costs would have been incurred in the absence of the disease of interest. The goal of this study was to develop a method of estimating age specific baseline health care costs. These costs were calculated for Australian men, and their magnitude was compared with the costs of caring for men with HIV infection. DESIGN--Inf…
Nicotine withdrawal medications
As an active researcher in the tobacco dependency field for nearly 20 years, I have seen our knowledge of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of tobacco dependence grow by leaps and bounds. As our knowledge into basic behavioural and physiologic mechanisms has grown, so has our ability to improve treatment tools. Nonetheless, although we have ever more effective tools available which patients can use to help them stop smoking, there is no magic …
