[Modern Workforce News]: Latest from the Labour Market
Today, we’re excited to introduce you to a new content series here at the CXC Global blog, where we’ll be covering topical issues of the day relating to labour laws, workforce trends and issues affecting the labour market. Our focus will be largely on contingent and ‘non-traditional’ worker categories, and the new industries, technologies and legislative changes that have arisen in the modern workforce.
This will be a regular feature on the blog so make sure you bookmark us, so you’re always across trending topics of the day, on labour activity in Australia. Or, click here & sign up to receive our monthly blog round-up.
First up, the latest news on sham contracting, the gig economy, and vulnerable worker protections – three scenarios that are deeply interrelated.
Contingent Working: Changing Attitudes of Workers…
I read a report recently, from the Australia Institute’s Centre for Future Work. And yes, my focus is squarely on contingent working. Through the analysis of ABS data, they’ve come up with a new term to describe the changing dynamic of ‘work’ in Australia.
‘Insecure work’ is the label I speak of. It describes those workers in Australia who have chosen (or not) to work contract, gig or contingent, for another individual or organisation.
The report tells us that for the first time in recorded history, less than half of Australia’s working population have a permanent full-time job. The remaining workers, those lumped in the ‘insecure work’ category are, according to the report, missing out on benefits like paid holidays, super, sick leave and other entitlements.
In the five years to 2017, paid full-time employment (i.e. those with leave & other entitlements) dropped to 49.97%. Part-time work rose to 31.7% of employment – the highest ever – with the rest of the workforce made up of self-employed, casual workers and those deemed ‘underemployed’.
One of the noted fears of this dynamic, is that for the younger generation entering the workforce. A ‘precarious labour market’ despite the highest educational attainment over any previous group of Australians, is the message here.
And it’s here that I have an issue.
