Inquiry into increasing participation in the workforce

This inquiry conducted by the Standing Committee on Employment and Workplace Relations lapsed at the dissolution of the 40th Parliament. This inquiry was resumed on 9 December 2004, following the re-adoption by the new Standing Committee on Employment, Workplace Relations and Workforce Participation.

With a focus on employment, there are also links to the working age payment reform process initiated with the joint release of the Building a simpler system to help jobless families and individuals consultation paper by the Minister for Family and Community Services and the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, and to the Demographic Change process which is addressing the issues raised in the Intergenerational Report 2002-03 which was released by the Treasurer.
