This publication is based on research undertaken during 2010-11, which included contact with more than 6000 employers, and is current at the end of June 2011. The research is based on a Survey of Employers who have Recently Advertised (SERA) and consideration of an array of quantitative and qualitative data, as well as consultation with key industry and occupational associations. The focus of the research is professional and trade occupations. This edition of Skill Shortages, Australia includes previously unpublished information for professions and some trades (based on research undertaken in the first half of 2011) and, for completeness, includes an assessment of trades labour markets undertaken in late 2010 which was included in the December 2010 edition of the publication. For those occupational groups where new research has not been undertaken, the cluster chapters have been updated with more recent employment, vacancy and industry activity figures. The Department’s skill shortage research has been undertaken continuously over the past three decades. While some occupational labour markets are cyclical, responding relatively quickly to changes in economic conditions, in some skilled occupations shortages have been relatively persistent, even during periods in which the economy has been slowing. Skill shortages can coexist with relatively high levels of unemployment and sometimes shortages are restricted to experienced workers or those who have specialist skills. Shortages can result from a number of factors including low levels of training, high levels of wastage, changes in technology, increasing demand for new skills within an occupation and locational mismatch, where workers who have the skills are not in close proximity to the employers seeking those skills.

E-portfolios beyond education and training: strategic ICT advisory service

This investigation compiles the evidence currently in existence to build a case for implementation of an Australian e-portfolio or e-portfolios. E-portfolio applications have been around for a number of years and are widely adopted in Australian education institutions. However, once learners are no longer involved in formal education, their access to e-portfolio services can be severely limited, even though they are by no means at the end of their education and are just beginning the work phase of their career. Several e-portfolio implementations around the world demonstrate the potential of e-portfolios for users post-education, including: supporting workers facing redundancy; career development; workforce development and planning; continuing professional development; lifelong learning; and articulation of skills and experience. E-portfolios have the potential to contribute to the policy response to an economic environment that includes complexities such as skills shortages, ongoing adjustment of the Australian labour market, the life-long learning agenda, and the impact of the global financial crisis. Worldwide, e-portfolios are at an interesting stage. Many implementations are considered highly successful by their stakeholders, in terms of benefits for individual users and labour market outcomes. However, the implementations are too recent for a solid base of evidence to have emerged, which means that several successful e-portfolios have been developed and implemented simply on the basis of an understanding that this is the way of the future. This report is part of the series of investigations commissioned by the Australian Government's Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) as part of the Strategic ICT Advisory Service (SICTAS) project.

The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) commissioned the author to write a series of papers on social inclusion/exclusion in order to build the knowledge base on social inclusion. They do not necessarily represent the views of the Australian Government. This briefing paper examines ‘intergenerational disadvantage’, which refers to the disadvantage induced by the attitudes, social circumstances or economic limitations of a person’s parents. The author explores patterns of intergenerational disadvantage in relation to labour force participation rates and attempts to estimate the extent, the medium and cost of the passage of disadvantage from one generation to the next.
