The economic and social impact of demographic change is generating increasing research and policy attention. This conference will bring together leading academics, senior policymakers and practitioners to share new research and industry and policy perspectives on the dynamics of the ageing demographic. Fiscal, labour force, family, health, and financial questions will be discussed.

Over the next few decades, social impact measurement will become increasingly important. We face the challenge of increasing the effectiveness of our work, to address increasingly complex issues, with decreasing resources. Cross-sector collaboration will be crucial to meet this challenge.

Beyond ‘Groundhog Day’: Can productivity and fairness be improved without further ‘labour law reform’? - 22 July 2013 at the Hilton, Sydney

Over the last two decades labour law reform has had a high profile in Australian policy debates – higher in fact than nearly all other advanced industrial societies.  The seemingly endless calls for ‘reform’ and changes to labour law now mean Australia has a highly volatile industrial landscape – a volatility not arising from industrial disputation but which is policy induced.
