6239.0 - Barriers and Incentives to Labour Force Participation, Australia, July 2012 to June 2013

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

OVERVIEW

To understand potential barriers to increased labour force participation there are three groups of people who are of particular interest:

unemployed;
persons not in the labour force; and
employed persons who usually worked less than 35 hours.

Persons not in the labour force includes people who wanted a paid job and those who did not want a paid job.

For employed persons who work less than 35 hours, it is important to ascertain whether they would like a different paid job with more hours or more hours in their current job.

The conceptual framework on the following page identifies these groups of people.
