Australia's welfare 2015
Overall, Australians are better educated and living longer than a decade ago according to the latest 2-yearly national publication "Australia's Welfare 2015" from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). The report covers: Understanding welfare; Australia's welfare spending and workforce; Child wellbeing; Young people; Working age; Growing older; Diversity and disadvantage in Australia; Indicators of Australia's welfare.
Acting AIHW Director Ms Kerry Flanagan said, 'Our report shows that most children are doing well and that most young people are studying or working. Adult participation in the labour force is higher than 20 years ago, and while some people are staying at work longer, after retirement, the majority of older Australians are not using aged care services. On the other hand, we see that 1 in 37 children are receiving child protection services, around 2 million Australians, mostly women, have experienced partner violence since the age of 15, youth unemployment exceeds 13%, and there's been little improvement in the proportion of young people who are not fully engaged in employment, education or training.'Australia's welfare 2015 |
