Managing Caring Responsibilities and Paid Employment, New South Wales
Page tools: | ||
NAME OF ORGANISATION The Managing Caring and Paid Employment survey is a one-off survey conducted in October 2000 as a supplement to the Monthly Population Survey (MPS). The survey provides information on the relationship between peoples' caring responsibilities and their work situation. The survey covers people aged 15 years and over living in private dwellings in NSW, excluding people living in sparsely settled areas. Topics covered include: type of work arrangements employees used to care for another person in the last 6 months; whether additional work arrangements were desired; whether caring responsibilities influenced a person's decision to become self employed; whether caring responsibilities were a reason people were not seeking paid work; and whether women aged 18 - 54 resigned from a job because sufficient maternity leave was not available. The purpose of the survey is to investigate the labour force experience of those who currently have or have had caring responsibilities, including peoples' use of maternity leave and other working arrangements. This information will assist government departments to develop policies for the workplace. The major users of the survey results are the NSW Department of Industrial Relations and the Department for Women. Data is also expected to be used by the Department of Community Services, Queensland Department of Employment,Training and Industrial Relations, Queensland Family and Community Centre and the Working Women's Centre.
