Better mobilising Australia's underutilised labour resources

This chapter builds on recent work of OECD’s Directorate of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs, especially a number of labour market and social policy reviews, and proposes options for improving Australia’s current activation and labour market policies and for the development of new ones. While briefly describing the Australian situation, the chapter mainly provides examples of good practice from other OECD countries which could inform the policy process in Australia and help to increase labour market participation of underrepresented groups.
