Results show employees experiencing fewer disruptions in aged care services, employment & family domains reported higher recognition & better outcomes compared to those with more disruptions
Using the Australian National Carer Survey, researchers tested how life experiences shape carer recognition & personal outcomes. Key finding: carer recognition mediates between care-related disruptions & outcomes
Many people juggle employment with caring for aging relatives. Despite this being common, carers often feel undervalued. This recognition gap has caught the attention of policymakers, advocates & employers.
Exciting new research by L&PR Members Myra Hamilton and Marian Baird (@ProfMarianBaird) et al. in Community, Work & Family, investigating carer recognition & outcomes. See here: buff.ly/41brqst

The book offers key guidance for researchers, managers, human resource staff, diversity and inclusion professionals, and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of age- and gender-inclusive workforce policies and practices for ageing populations and workforces.
It draws on large-scale study and case studies to highlight policies and practices to promote successful ageing at work, optimal work designs for older workers’ participation, engagement and wellbeing, and strategies to support workers to combine work and unpaid care.
The edited collection provides original and groundbreaking insights into the development and outcomes of multigenerational workforce strategies in Australian workplaces through the combined lens of age, gender and caring.
New edited collection from LP&R Members Marian Baird (@ProfMarianBaird) and Myra Hamilton, with Alison Williams! Learn more about "The Multigenerational Workforce: Managing Age and Gender at Work" here: buff.ly/40UCWau

But there’s an important caveat—even with optimal job allocation to low-work-intensity households, employment targets alone likely won't achieve 2030 poverty goals. Additional policies needed to strengthen employment-poverty reduction links
The article finds the impact of employment growth on poverty reduction heavily depends on job distribution. For maximum effect, jobs must prioritize individuals in very low work-intensity households
The study investigates the relationship between EU's employment growth target and poverty reduction goal by 2030, and examines how employment gains translate to social outcomes

The paper expands CARIN criteria from public opinion research to meso-level policy analysis, opening new avenues for understanding how policies categorize and treat different groups
Using Germany's COVID-19 containment & vaccination policies as a case study, the authors demonstrate how CARIN criteria can be applied beyond welfare policy to analyze target group constructions
