WORKING LIFE
EMP PRO
PROBERT, Belinda
Our lives are shaped by the kind of work we do - or by the lack of it. Work, be it clerical, industrial or domestic, is central to contemporary society, not just for survival but for the status and meaning it gives our lives. Why is that and individual's chance of becoming a lawyer or welfare officer, a labourer or nurse is largely determined by sex, ethnic background and parental occupation? Working life examines the historical and social forces that have shaped the organization and regulation of work in Australian society, encompassing industrialism, trade unions, migrants and dirty work, technological change and unpaid domestic work.

UNEMPLOYMENT
EMP WIN
WINDSCHUTTLE, Keith
Unemployment is not caused by strikes or high wages; women do not necessarily take men's jobs; the young are not work-shy; the unemployment are not dole bludgers. Unemployment is threatening the fabric of Australian Society. It influences the crime rate, leads to an increase in drug and alcohol dependence, contributes to domestic violence, and is constricting the life opportunities of a generation of young people. Keith Windschuttle argues that unemployment cannot be solved by a capitalist economy that responds to profit rather than to human need. Until we abandon the goals of `progress' and `expansion', we will perpetuate the social crisis caused by unemployment.
