The proportion of Australians of workforce age receiving income support payments increased from less than five per cent in 1974 to nearly 16 per cent by 1983, declined somewhat and rose again to nearly 25 per cent in 1996. Since then welfare receipt fell back to around 16 per cent just before the Global Financial Crisis in 2008. While there has been some increase since then, this has been modest, and Australia seems to have been successful in achieving a significant and sustained reduction in receipt of welfare payments.

It presents ethnographic work undertaken during two field seasons in 2012 and 2013 at a Chilean scientific base and surrounding areas comprising a cluster of national scientific stations in the Antarctic Peninsula.
