More than half of Australia's work benefits are low and insecure! Young people are the worst: highly educated but without a job!

Lucky to study hard to take PR, waiting for a good job that day, come to Australia for what, not only good welfare, good treatment, how can not expect, now Australia is not as good a year as a year.

According to reports, recently, (Centre for Future Work), the future work center of the Australian Research Institute (Australia Institute), conducted an analysis of the (ABS) data of the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and found that over the past five years, "insecure" jobs have significantly increased and employees have lost paid leave. Benefits such as pensions and sick leave.

Economists Tanya Carney and Jim Stanford wrote a report on the Dimension of insecure work and analysed data from 2012-17.

Over time, they found, the number of paid full-time workers entitled to leave fell to 49.97 percent of all employees.

Meanwhile, part-time jobs rose to 31.7 percent of the workforce, the highest so far, with the rest of the workforce composed of freelancers, temporary workers and underemployed people.

"insecure work has become the new normal and I'm not going to call it a second-class job because most people are experiencing this insecurity in one way or another," Stanford said.

Other major findings include the biggest torment on young Australians, with full-time jobs under the age of 30 falling from 42.5 percent in 2012 to 38.9 percent in 2017.

Underemployment rose from 7.6% to 9.1% of the total.

"Young people face the worst situation in the unstable labour market, even though they are more educated than any previous generation of Australians," the report said.

"nearly 50 percent of 25, 34-year-olds have completed higher education, but the prevalence of unstable jobs prevents most people from using their skills to the fullest extent possible."

Two main factors

The report reviewed 11 job "indicators", including wages, the number of temporary workers, underemployment and migrant workers.

A single indicator does not show the extent of "unsafe work," but taken together, these figures confirm this trend.

The report concludes with two main points: the shortage of jobs relative to the number of people in need and the deteriorating quality of the jobs themselves.

"We have to have a stronger job market where people think they can reject unequal work treatment," Stanford said.

In addition, the Stanford advocates amending labour laws to ensure greater protection for workers, including minimum wages.

"I don't believe this is inevitable," he said. "this is a very unusual situation in Australia compared to other industrialized countries, and I think we can turn it around with some positive policy intervention."
