註釋
Around 12% of the working-age population in Australia - at any one time - are providing unpaid informal care to a person with a disability, long-term illness, or frailty, with a resultant impact also on their labour force availability. Since Indigenous Australians experience higher rates of severe or profound disability than other Australians, they also experience heavy caring burdens. However, there is little research on how this affects employment in this group. Using new data from the Australian Census Longitudinal Dataset, this paper estimates and compares the effects of providing unpaid care on the rates of paid employment of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. It also examines how labour force status changes in association with starting as a carer and exiting from caring.
