Changing Working Force And The Positive Outcomes Of...
Introduction
The following essay will delve into the challenges of the changing working force and the positive
outcomes of managing diversity at work. Ageing baby–boomers along with an increased number of
women in paid work and an influx of workers from diverse backgrounds within the workplace raise
new diversity challenges, which people managers must handle. Managing diversity in the workplace
has become an essential skill for people managers. There are many social and economic reasons that
make it highly beneficial to a business.

Diversity management in Australia
According to the relational framework, diversity management in Australia needs to be understood in
terms of the national contextual factors such as legislation, government policy, the demographic
characteristics of the population and the workforce, the state and nature of the local and global
economy, prevalent ideas about management and particularly human resource management, and the
values and the multiple and intersecting identities such as gender, race, social class and family
status.

Studies have shown that almost 90% of Australian citizens live in urban areas, with the majority of
those urban areas being on the eastern coast. The reason that the majority of people live on the
eastern coast is mainly due to the geography of Australia. The entire country of Australia is a
continent and is the only country in the continent. The eastern coast is the most fertile part of
Australia which makes the land easier to live on. The majority of Australia is unpopulated, desert,
harsh land. This part of Australia which covers most of the country is called the outback. Because of
the geography of Australia our advertising and shipping will be cheaper because our products will
all be advertised and shipped to a smaller more concentrated area. Because we will not have to

Qantas Market Segmentation
The airline industry has long attempted to segment the air travel market in order to effectively target
its constituents. The classic airline model consists of First Class, Business Class and Economy, and
the demographics that make up the classes have both similarities and differences to the other
classes. For instance there may be similarities between business class travellers on a particular
flight, but they will not all be travelling for the same reason. An almost–universal characteristic of
air travel is that customers do not fly for the sake of flying; the destination is the important element
and the travel is a by–product, a means–to–an–end that involves the necessity of an aircraft that gets
the customer from point A to point B. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Recently Qantas has partnered up with Emirates in an effort to channel Europe–bound travellers
through Dubai International Airport in a mutually beneficially arrangement, an example of
business–to–business geographic segmentation marketing. Qantas encourages tourism by
broadcasting the same television and print advertisement to both international and domestic
customers with iconic images of Australia. This is a marketing strategy that serves multiple
purposes, it stimulates Australian tourism abroad while firmly associating Australia with Qantas and
also encourages 'brand loyalty' from Australians who wish to support their country. Because of the
large variety of airlines both internationally and domestically, Qantas has marketed themselves
towards service; they are the only "full–service" airline in Australia.
Demographic
The demographic characteristics of customers can be broken down by the class they choose to fly.
First Class is chiefly attracting high–income earners, who are concerned with a high level of service
and enjoy an air of exclusivity. These are knows as "comfort seekers" and they can include business
magnates, federal politicians, sporting stars and a–list celebrities. The First Class market is highly
concentrated; less than 3% of passengers will choose to fly First Class but those customers make up
close to 30% in revenue for the airline (Keen and Strand 2007). Because the focus is on service and

Low Socio-Economic Status People and Their Impact on...
Low socio–economic status people and their impact on university participation, choice of university
and choice of course in Australia
There seem to be persistent inequalities in Australian higher education participation. Over the last
two decades the participation numbers for low socio–economic status group have only slightly
improved despite improvements in access (Centre for the Study of Higher Education, 2008, p. 15).
After the Bradley report which was written following the review of higher education system in
2008, the Australian government has introduced many policies and financial assistance for this
demographic in hope of increasing the participation rates to 20 per cent by 2020 (Department of
Education, Employment, and Workplace ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
One of the reasons that could explain the current higher education participation numbers by people
from low socio–economic background is aspiration. It has to be considered as one of the principal
issues in student's decision making process. According to the English dictionary, to aspire, it means
to have a strong desire to achieve something. Consequently, to attend university, an individual needs
to aspire to do so. Bowden and Doughney (2010), in their study of secondary students in the western
suburbs of Melbourne, have found that those with lower socio–economic status have fewer
aspirations to attend university. Instead, they aspire to attend a vocational training institution or gain
employment. Difference in aspirations among different demographics is mainly influenced by
individual's social systems, such as class, ethnicity, gender, customs and religion (Bowden &
Doughney, 2010, p. 119). Furthermore, in his research for the Department of Education, Science and
Training, James has found that there is a strong relationship between parental education levels and
young people's educational aspirations (DEST, 2002, p. 51). Bowden and Doughney's study results
are consistent with James' findings, as well as Bourdieu's concept of 'cultural capital', which Harker
et al. (cited in Webb et al. 2002, p. 22) defined as 'culturally valued taste and consumption pattern'.
Therefore, it can be said that those who come from low socio–economic background are at a

Gender Differences In Interpersonal Injury
Summary:
The primary aim of this research article was to examine demographic characteristics and compare
the injury circumstances, repeat admission and hospital stay between male and female Indigenous
Australians hospitalized due to interpersonal violence in Western Australia from 1990–2004. This
population–based, retrospective study utilized records from Western Australia mortality database
and the Hospital Morbidity Data System. Records that had the primary diagnosis as an 'injury' and
external cause as an' injury inflicted by another', were not included in the study. The results showed
that the demographic information of both genders were the same however, there were higher rates of
hospitalization of females at nearly 1.3 times the rate of males. Also, the rate of readmission for
interpersonal violence was similarly higher among Indigenous females. The hospital admission rate
of Indigenous persons was also higher than that of non–Indigenous persons throughout the 15 years
study period with the rate for Indigenous females to non–Indigenous females significantly higher
than in males.

Health Determinants On Health
Health determinants are the factors that can have a positive or negative impact on a person's health.
Many things can affect how healthy we are, from a complex interplay between macro to molecular
influence to influences from society (for example, the prevalence of drug and alcohol use), to
individual factors such as genetic make–up. Education, employment, income, lifestyle, psychosocial
and physiological factors can also influence a person's health and wellbeing. Health can also be
significantly affected, and modified to some extent, by the quality and timeliness of the health care
services we receive, including preventative health care such as education, screening and
immunization.
This multidimensional model (Figure 1, below) explains how a person's health and wellbeing result
from a complex interplay between the influences listed above and other health determinants.

Comparison Of Ageing Population In Australia And Japan
All that withers once blossomed. Across the developed world, populations are ageing
disproportionately, with youth being slowly eclipsed by age. This ageing demographic is evident in
both Australia and Japan. By 2060, those aged 65 and above will account for 40% of Japan's
population, while in Australia, this percentage is expected to exceed 20%. The key challenge posed
by an ageing population is the need to bolster productivity with a sustainable labour force. This
would help to generate revenue to offset the costs of an ageing population (for example, pension and
healthcare). However, factors that bear upon the question of ageing are largely dependent on the
political, cultural and economic idiosyncrasies of each nation. The application ... Show more content

In Japan it is freely admitted that, "structural changes can happen overnight," yet,"cultural changes
never happen that quickly." As a historically homogenous (tan'itsu minzoku) society, Japan has been
more reluctant to accept migration as a source of labour. In contrast to Australia, only 2% of the
Japanese population are foreigners. Unlike many Japanese cultural norms, the principle of 'no–
immigration' has experienced little change over the years. Japan's policy regarding overseas
migration may, as some argue, be representative of the nation's 'ambivalence against globalisation'.
Nevertheless, the resilience of such entrenched cultural attitudes are likely to be tested in coming
years, as the population continues to age and the workforce diminishes. The emergence of robotic

Background
To begin, you should know some facts and a brief history of the country. Australia is the world's 6th
largest country by total area. Prior to colonization by Great Britain, Australia had been inhabited by
an indigenous people for over 50,000 years. The term "Indigenous Australians" includes diverse
groups that range anywhere from the Tiwi People, to the Torres Strait Islanders.

As of 1/19/2015, the exchange rate is one Australian Dollar per 0.69 US Dollar. Exchange rates
fluctuate frequently, and are determined by a vast number of economic factors. The International
System of Units is the system of weights and measurements for Australia. This system of
measurement uses the metric system which is the world's most widely used measurement system.
Lifestyle
The general lifestyle in Australia tends to be more relaxed than in the United States; this leads to
many differences between the two countries. Australians often abbreviate words. Service in
restaurants tends to be slower and more relaxed. Australians are also far more conscious about water
conservation. Because the country has suffered from drought for years, the citizens aim to conserve
as much water as possible; showers are typically about three minutes long; toilets have two flush
buttons, one for a full flush, and one for a half flush. The majority of Australians air–dry their
clothes rather than using a dryer. Australia also has a technologically advanced infrastructure, as

Nike's New Device to Scan and Correct Golf Swings: Market...
The company is Nike and the product is a device that Nike has developed to scan golf swings and
correct errors. Professional players sometimes use these types of devices but Nike has developed
one and intends to market it to consumers. Australia is going to be the first market.
Consumers, competitors, suppliers and channel partners are affected by this issue. The government
plays very little role, beyond approving the product for sale. There are few if any ethical/social
issues, as this recreational product is benign and poses no risk of injury to consumers.
The product fits in well with the socio–cultural values of Australians. Caplan (2005) notes that
Australia is a burgeoning golf destination and society in general takes a favourable view of the
pastime. Golf in most places is considered to be a social activity, where one can either relax from
the stresses of the work week or as a place even to conduct business (The Economist, 2011). Golf is
not played by many youth, but those who do play the game will benefit from the additional
instruction afforded by this device.
A good corollary for the demographics of golf comes from the subscription data for Australian Golf
Digest. This suggests the sport is predominantly male (80%), well–distributed by age (the largest
cohort is actually 14–24 with 27.6%), full–time workers, professional, in the top quintile of the
socioeconomic scale (33.4%) and has an average household income of $114,270 (NewsSpace,

cultural, economic, technological, and other such indicators is always struggling to find a balance
for itself. However, this balance, is a very sensitive an element, which can trigger off to any one
direction with the minutest of thing. In this report, it is this very study that is being conducted, with
focus on the impact of the sports industry and how the various socio–cultural and economic factors
can attribute towards the success or the failure of this industry. The report would try to find out the
impact that the changing lifestyle in Australia and particularly in the region of Queensland is having
on the over–all development of the Sports Industry. Has the change in lifestyle meant an awareness
which is driving people to be more active, thus creating a booming industry? More importantly, the
question which needs to be explored is how the current trends which have become visible in the
statistics can be further used to develop the industry in a way that profits can be created. SECTION

24). A variety of external factors influence the identification of human resource issues and the
development of HRM policies. Some of the external factors facing organisations are changing
nature work force, technology, globalisation and labour force demographics. Changing Nature of
Work In Australia, there was a change in Government due to the recent federal elections. The past
Government of John Howard had introduced Australian workplace agreements (AWA's). AWA is an
agreement made between an individual employer and an individual employee in which the terms
and conditions of the employment contract between the employer and employee are determined.
The new Government led by Kevin Rudd intends to abolish workplace agreements and introduce
common law contracts. These changes would significantly affect the way a HR Manager operates in
an organisation. HR managers are responsible for drafting out the contracts of all employees and
such changes in the laws are bound to have serious implications to the nature of their work.
Organisations to survive in this competitive age have to employ the most educated and most suited
workforce to compete. Thus the employees have higher salary expectations, opportunities to
participate in organisational decision making, and the need to be treated fairly and with respect. In
addition, more employees are concerned about the effects of work demands and

Smoking In Australia Essay
Introduction
Tobacco smoking is a major global public health epidemic (World Health Organisation [WHO],
2015). In addition to the negative effects of second–hand smoke, tobacco smoking is also associated
with a multitude of prolonged health diseases like cancer, respiratory problems and even stroke, and
accounts for over 5 million deaths annually (WHO, 2015). Of the 1 billion smokers worldwide
(defined as those at least 15 years of age who have smoked over 100 cigarettes in their lifetime;
Diaz et al., 2009), one in five come from developed countries (WHO, 2015), such as Australia. The
reasons for this uphill trend may potentially be a result of lack of education during the 1920's and
also following the wars (International Agency for Research on Cancer [IRAC], 2012, p. 57).

Within the Maori population in New Zealand which take up a sixth of the total population close to
50% of the community were daily smokers (Grigg, Waa & Bradbrook, 2008). They also mentioned
that cessation of smoking or not smoking at all would have prevented many of the causes of deaths
within the community. The discrepancies impacting the community was due to the low socio–
economic situation of the people, similar to Australia. In Canada, a similar situation is occurring.
According to Tjepkema (2002), the rate of smoking within the aboriginal is not decreasing with
51.4% of aboriginals smoking. Although broken down into light, heavy and occasional smokers
(27.2%, 19.3%, 9.9% respectively), these statistics translate into the aboriginal population about 1.9
times more than the non–aboriginal population.
Tjepkema (2002) also states that the high amount of smoking was related to the socio–demographics
in different living areas, education and income (socio–economic) status leading to the high
prevalence of smoking within the aboriginals.

The Challenge Of The Australian Football League
Introduction
The Australian Football is one of the most popular sports among the people of Australia. Even the
people who do not play football know about the Australian Football League (AFL) which is the
governing body of football in Australia. Majority of the people of Australia are big diehard fans of
the league and the respective teams they support. Because of its popularity the Australian Football
League faces tough competition from other sports in Australia. Other popular sports include soccer,
national rugby league. The AFL takes every possible step to cater its audience and make their
experience with AFL a memorable one. It does research and provides them with best outcomes. In
turn these steps provide them with greater understanding and help them build long term
relationships with the audience. All of this creates greater awareness of the sport and generates
revenue for AFL.
Background of the Research
Most of the professional sports teams join together to form different leagues in their respective
countries. The intention behind this formation of leagues is to target fans and spectators through a
media channel. The whole consumer market is made up of four groups. At first there are the fans
and supporters who provide support by attending the league matches or by following them through

then be interpreted as there being a high demand of health care services in the area. Within
Australia, health care and social assistance employs the greatest percentage of the labour force
(11.4%). Some health services designed to cater for the people of the Gordon–Killara area include
supporting the mental health of teenagers. Lifeline is a counselling service which provides crisis
support and suicide prevention services which has its main office in Gordon. Moreover, there are
many family dental and medical practices which aim to address the demands of the families living

Unemployment Of The Australian Economy
In the Australian economy, trending unemployment rates are a prevailing socio–economic issue.
With the labour market central to unemployment and the distribution of jobs, many factors arise as
the key influences on unemployment. With an incredible number of industries facing high demand
by consumers, it is speculated that employment would feature an increase to compensate. However,
many factors of the labour market contradict this and instead increase unemployment. Factors such
as the level of economic growth, technological changes, trends in productivity and the trends in
inadequate education have adverse effects on how unemployment increases and decreases.
Unemployment Overview Unemployment in the Australian economy is defined as the state of
involuntary idleness of work, and the rate of such. An extremely complex, it is often segregated into
four key demographics for analysis: national, state, youth and mature. Each of these four
demographics feature varying trends and are consistently affected by different factors of the labour
market. Causes of Unemployment The trend in unemployment within the Australian economy has
swayed significantly in the past 30 years. As of current, the national unemployment rate has been
established at 5.8%, after an unexpected downturn from 6% in February of 2016 ("Australia
Unemployment Rate | 1978–2016"). Over the past 30 years, the trend of national unemployment has

Natural environment
Kolter et al defines the natural environment as "natural resources that are needed as inputs by
marketers or that are affected by marketing activities". In today's society, the presence of planet
preservation is continuing to grow and become a forefront in the public's mind. Consumers are
becoming increasingly aware of the activities of the industrialised manufacturing. As "Vital Foods"
is completely dependent on the natural environment for their product, the potential to use this aspect
is quite significant to their marketing strategy.
Today's consumer is more informed, more aware and more intuitive to the ways in which their
goods are manufactured. This state of mind places great control in the hands of the consumer who
can boycott particular products, such as the CSR sugar boycott in Werribee, Victoria (Banner 1998).
Such issues that would affect the manufacture of yoghurt would be the nature of the treatment of
dairy cows, use of chemicals or hormones to stimulate production, the effect of operating the dairy

Australia 's equalization of exchange has been unsteady as of late. In the period since 1994, little
exchange surpluses were accomplished in 1997 ($0.8b) and in 2001 ($4.3b), with exchange
deficiencies happening in every single other year. The exchange shortage was a record $22.4b in
2003, because of a blend of elements including the serious dry spell influencing rural fares, the high
estimation of the Australian dollar in respect to different monetary standards, and the effect of the
war in Iraq on global travel.
Australia imports generously a larger number of merchandise and administrations from the USA
than it fares to it. As shown in source B1, exports to the US are 15,533 million AUD, compared to

Nike's New Device to Scan and Correct Golf Swings: Market...
The company is Nike and the product is a device that Nike has developed to scan golf swings and
correct errors. Professional players sometimes use these types of devices but Nike has developed
one and intends to market it to consumers. Australia is going to be the first market.
Consumers, competitors, suppliers and channel partners are affected by this issue. The government
plays very little role, beyond approving the product for sale. There are few if any ethical/social
issues, as this recreational product is benign and poses no risk of injury to consumers.
The product fits in well with the socio–cultural values of Australians. Caplan (2005) notes that
Australia is a burgeoning golf destination and society in general takes a favourable view of the
pastime. Golf in most places is considered to be a social activity, where one can either relax from
the stresses of the work week or as a place even to conduct business (The Economist, 2011). Golf is
not played by many youth, but those who do play the game will benefit from the additional
instruction afforded by this device.
A good corollary for the demographics of golf comes from the subscription data for Australian Golf
Digest. This suggests the sport is predominantly male (80%), well–distributed by age (the largest
cohort is actually 14–24 with 27.6%), full–time workers, professional, in the top quintile of the

Ethnocultural diversity is always appreciated by the policy makers of the country. The formal policy
of multiculturalism was adopted three decades ago when the immigrant populations began to rise
from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds after the official end of the white immigrant policy of
Australia. The policy of multiculturalism is enrooted in two key points : First is the right to cultural
identity which is to express and enjoy one's own cultural, religious, ethnic customs freely. The
second one is the objective to have the commitment to getting assimilated and absorbed in the
Australian culture and become part of it. Here the analogy of "melting pot", often used for American
society, becomes much relevant. Melting pot analogy means that people emerging from different
ethnicities, languages, races, religions, societies integrate into a single pot and become part of it.
The years of 1986 and 1996 governed by Labour party showed greater expansion of programs under
multiculturalism policy. This policy is enrooted in the idea which promotes diversity instead of
uniformity. Australian public realizes the importance of diversity towards social development, thus,
it has mostly encouraged such policies which are formed to increase diversity and assimilation of

Translated to its literal meaning "pulling in" or "withdrawal" (Grisafe 2012), hikikomori is a

Due to their parent's high expectations to succeed in school, many victims may choose to isolate
themselves as failure in school and a lack of social support can keep the hikikomori locked away for
years. In Japan there is extreme pressure to get into a good university and get a well–paid job. For
some, failing to do so results in people shutting themselves in.
A large aspect of Japan's enormous pressure on students comes from the entrance exams that
students are required to take to get into specific junior high schools, high schools and universities.
Failure to gain entry is a leading factor in becoming a hikikomori. The work required to do well in
the infamously difficult entrance exams consists of extended hours of study and cramming schools,
otherwise known as gakushĆ« juku(ć­Šçż’ćĄŸ)or juku (ćĄŸ) for short (Suzuki 2013). These fast paced,
late night schools leave students with minimal hours of sleep and social time and extended period of
study and cramming. Approximately 60% of all Japanese high school students attend juku (Cram
Schools n.d.). Gogatsu–byƍ (May Disease, äș”月病) is another school related motive of the

2.0 DEFINING AND FRAMING THE ISSUE The execution of the Green Frog Nursery's
succession plan to gradually replace its current volunteers with younger individuals is contingent
upon the effective analyses of the internal and external factors present. This is reinforced by
Donaldson (2001, p. 26), who states that environmental contingencies are outside the control of the
managers of an organisation and organisations need to adapt to their changing environments. Whilst
these difficulties have primarily occurred externally due to previously stated socio demographic
trend of an ageing population, a number of internal factors have augmented the issue. The firm's
capacity to attract and retain younger volunteers becomes a more prominent subject, as is the current
organisational structure, which fails to establish a clear division of labour or leadership. 2.1

play sideshows in Adelaide when booked for a festival. Some big name artists also seem to skip
Adelaide when coming to Australia on tour, such as Kendrick Lamar, Avicii, Fleetwood Mac and

This is also the reason why stage production of the festival in Adelaide is so small. This can be seen
when figure a (FOMO Adelaide) and figure B (FOMO Gold Coast) are compared. As you can
clearly see from taking a quick glance at both festival sites with very similar lineups, the gold coast
venue got a lot more people attending with the same amount of promoting and marketing. This
clearly shows that there is something that hinders people from attending artist shows and festivals in
Adelaide, which isn 't there in cities like Brisbane or Melbourne. The manager of the festival and I
had a word and he said that the only reason they are bringing the festival to South Australia is so
that they can use Adelaide as a testing ground and see if there is much potential for future events.
The turnout was better than expected for this festival but still no where near as good as the other

cities as well, with higher stage production, more lights and a lot more crowd interaction.
After speaking to the manager and the CEO of the events company, I collected valuable information
about the age demographics when comparing Adelaide to a city like Sydney. According to the

Studies have shown that almost 90% of Australian citizens live in urban areas, with the majority of those urban areas being on the eastern coast. The reason that the majority of people live on the eastern coast is mainly due to the geography of Australia. The entire country of Australia is a continent and is the only country in the continent. The eastern coast is the most fertile part of Australia which makes the land easier to live on. The majority of Australia is unpopulated, desert, harsh land. This part of Australia which covers most of the country is called the outback.

  • 3. Qantas Market Segmentation The airline industry has long attempted to segment the air travel market in order to effectively target its constituents. The classic airline model consists of First Class, Business Class and Economy, and the demographics that make up the classes have both similarities and differences to the other classes. For instance there may be similarities between business class travellers on a particular flight, but they will not all be travelling for the same reason. An almost–universal characteristic of air travel is that customers do not fly for the sake of flying; the destination is the important element and the travel is a by–product, a means–to–an–end that involves the necessity of an aircraft that gets the customer from point A to point B. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Recently Qantas has partnered up with Emirates in an effort to channel Europe–bound travellers through Dubai International Airport in a mutually beneficially arrangement, an example of business–to–business geographic segmentation marketing. Qantas encourages tourism by broadcasting the same television and print advertisement to both international and domestic customers with iconic images of Australia. This is a marketing strategy that serves multiple purposes, it stimulates Australian tourism abroad while firmly associating Australia with Qantas and also encourages 'brand loyalty' from Australians who wish to support their country. Because of the large variety of airlines both internationally and domestically, Qantas has marketed themselves towards service; they are the only "full–service" airline in Australia. Demographic The demographic characteristics of customers can be broken down by the class they choose to fly. First Class is chiefly attracting high–income earners, who are concerned with a high level of service and enjoy an air of exclusivity. These are knows as "comfort seekers" and they can include business magnates, federal politicians, sporting stars and a–list celebrities. The First Class market is highly concentrated; less than 3% of passengers will choose to fly First Class but those customers make up close to 30% in revenue for the airline (Keen and Strand 2007).

  • 4. Low Socio-Economic Status People and Their Impact on... Low socio–economic status people and their impact on university participation, choice of university and choice of course in Australia There seem to be persistent inequalities in Australian higher education participation. Over the last two decades the participation numbers for low socio–economic status group have only slightly improved despite improvements in access (Centre for the Study of Higher Education, 2008, p. 15). After the Bradley report which was written following the review of higher education system in 2008, the Australian government has introduced many policies and financial assistance for this demographic in hope of increasing the participation rates to 20 per cent by 2020 (Department of Education, Employment, and Workplace ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... One of the reasons that could explain the current higher education participation numbers by people from low socio–economic background is aspiration. It has to be considered as one of the principal issues in student's decision making process. According to the English dictionary, to aspire, it means to have a strong desire to achieve something. Consequently, to attend university, an individual needs to aspire to do so. Bowden and Doughney (2010), in their study of secondary students in the western suburbs of Melbourne, have found that those with lower socio–economic status have fewer aspirations to attend university. Instead, they aspire to attend a vocational training institution or gain employment. Difference in aspirations among different demographics is mainly influenced by individual's social systems, such as class, ethnicity, gender, customs and religion (Bowden & Doughney, 2010, p. 119). Furthermore, in his research for the Department of Education, Science and Training, James has found that there is a strong relationship between parental education levels and young people's educational aspirations (DEST, 2002, p. 51). Bowden and Doughney's study results are consistent with James' findings, as well as Bourdieu's concept of 'cultural capital', which Harker et al. (cited in Webb et al. 2002, p. 22) defined as 'culturally valued taste and consumption pattern'. Therefore, it can be said that those who come from low socio–economic background are at a ...

  • 5. Gender Differences In Interpersonal Injury Summary: The primary aim of this research article was to examine demographic characteristics and compare the injury circumstances, repeat admission and hospital stay between male and female Indigenous Australians hospitalized due to interpersonal violence in Western Australia from 1990–2004. This population–based, retrospective study utilized records from Western Australia mortality database and the Hospital Morbidity Data System. Records that had the primary diagnosis as an 'injury' and external cause as an' injury inflicted by another', were not included in the study. The results showed that the demographic information of both genders were the same however, there were higher rates of hospitalization of females at nearly 1.3 times the rate of males. Also, the rate of readmission for interpersonal violence was similarly higher among Indigenous females. The hospital admission rate of Indigenous persons was also higher than that of non–Indigenous persons throughout the 15 years study period with the rate for Indigenous females to non–Indigenous females significantly higher than in males. Assessment: ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 6. Health Determinants On Health Health determinants are the factors that can have a positive or negative impact on a person's health. Many things can affect how healthy we are, from a complex interplay between macro to molecular influence to influences from society (for example, the prevalence of drug and alcohol use), to individual factors such as genetic make–up. Education, employment, income, lifestyle, psychosocial and physiological factors can also influence a person's health and wellbeing. Health can also be significantly affected, and modified to some extent, by the quality and timeliness of the health care services we receive, including preventative health care such as education, screening and immunization. This multidimensional model (Figure 1, below) explains how a person's health and wellbeing result from a complex interplay between the influences listed above and other health determinants.

  • 8. Comparison Of Ageing Population In Australia And Japan All that withers once blossomed. Across the developed world, populations are ageing disproportionately, with youth being slowly eclipsed by age. This ageing demographic is evident in both Australia and Japan. By 2060, those aged 65 and above will account for 40% of Japan's population, while in Australia, this percentage is expected to exceed 20%. The key challenge posed by an ageing population is the need to bolster productivity with a sustainable labour force. This would help to generate revenue to offset the costs of an ageing population (for example, pension and healthcare). However, factors that bear upon the question of ageing are largely dependent on the political, cultural and economic idiosyncrasies of each nation. The application ...

As a historically homogenous (tan'itsu minzoku) society, Japan has been more reluctant to accept migration as a source of labour. In contrast to Australia, only 2% of the Japanese population are foreigners. Unlike many Japanese cultural norms, the principle of 'no– immigration' has experienced little change over the years. Japan's policy regarding overseas migration may, as some argue, be representative of the nation's 'ambivalence against globalisation'. Nevertheless, the resilience of such entrenched cultural attitudes are likely to be tested in coming years, as the population continues to age and the workforce diminishes.

  • 10. Nike's New Device to Scan and Correct Golf Swings: Market... The company is Nike and the product is a device that Nike has developed to scan golf swings and correct errors. Professional players sometimes use these types of devices but Nike has developed one and intends to market it to consumers. Australia is going to be the first market. Consumers, competitors, suppliers and channel partners are affected by this issue. The government plays very little role, beyond approving the product for sale. There are few if any ethical/social issues, as this recreational product is benign and poses no risk of injury to consumers. The product fits in well with the socio–cultural values of Australians. Caplan (2005) notes that Australia is a burgeoning golf destination and society in general takes a favourable view of the pastime. Golf in most places is considered to be a social activity, where one can either relax from the stresses of the work week or as a place even to conduct business (The Economist, 2011). Golf is not played by many youth, but those who do play the game will benefit from the additional instruction afforded by this device. A good corollary for the demographics of golf comes from the subscription data for Australian Golf Digest. This suggests the sport is predominantly male (80%), well–distributed by age (the largest cohort is actually 14–24 with 27.6%), full–time workers, professional, in the top quintile of the socioeconomic scale (33.4%) and has an average household income of $114,270 (NewsSpace, 2012).

Some of the external factors facing organisations are changing nature work force, technology, globalisation and labour force demographics. Changing Nature of Work In Australia, there was a change in Government due to the recent federal elections. The past Government of John Howard had introduced Australian workplace agreements (AWA's). AWA is an agreement made between an individual employer and an individual employee in which the terms and conditions of the employment contract between the employer and employee are determined. The new Government led by Kevin Rudd intends to abolish workplace agreements and introduce common law contracts. These changes would significantly affect the way a HR Manager operates in an organisation. HR managers are responsible for drafting out the contracts of all employees and such changes in the laws are bound to have serious implications to the nature of their work. Organisations to survive in this competitive age have to employ the most educated and most suited workforce to compete. Thus the employees have higher salary expectations, opportunities to participate in organisational decision making, and the need to be treated fairly and with respect.

  • 31. Nike's New Device to Scan and Correct Golf Swings: Market... The company is Nike and the product is a device that Nike has developed to scan golf swings and correct errors. Professional players sometimes use these types of devices but Nike has developed one and intends to market it to consumers. Australia is going to be the first market. Consumers, competitors, suppliers and channel partners are affected by this issue. The government plays very little role, beyond approving the product for sale. There are few if any ethical/social issues, as this recreational product is benign and poses no risk of injury to consumers. The product fits in well with the socio–cultural values of Australians. Caplan (2005) notes that Australia is a burgeoning golf destination and society in general takes a favourable view of the pastime. Golf in most places is considered to be a social activity, where one can either relax from the stresses of the work week or as a place even to conduct business (The Economist, 2011). Golf is not played by many youth, but those who do play the game will benefit from the additional instruction afforded by this device.

Ethnocultural diversity is always appreciated by the policy makers of the country. The formal policy of multiculturalism was adopted three decades ago when the immigrant populations began to rise from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds after the official end of the white immigrant policy of Australia. The policy of multiculturalism is enrooted in two key points : First is the right to cultural identity which is to express and enjoy one's own cultural, religious, ethnic customs freely. The second one is the objective to have the commitment to getting assimilated and absorbed in the Australian culture and become part of it. Here the analogy of "melting pot", often used for American society, becomes much relevant. Melting pot analogy means that people emerging from different ethnicities, languages, races, religions, societies integrate into a single pot and become part of it. The years of 1986 and 1996 governed by Labour party showed greater expansion of programs under multiculturalism policy. This policy is enrooted in the idea which promotes diversity instead of uniformity. Australian public realizes the importance of diversity towards social development, thus, it has mostly encouraged such policies which are formed to increase diversity and assimilation of the newcomers.

Due to their parent's high expectations to succeed in school, many victims may choose to isolate themselves as failure in school and a lack of social support can keep the hikikomori locked away for years. In Japan there is extreme pressure to get into a good university and get a well–paid job. For some, failing to do so results in people shutting themselves in. A large aspect of Japan's enormous pressure on students comes from the entrance exams that students are required to take to get into specific junior high schools, high schools and universities. Failure to gain entry is a leading factor in becoming a hikikomori. The work required to do well in the infamously difficult entrance exams consists of extended hours of study and cramming schools, otherwise known as gakushĆ« juku(ć­Šçż’ćĄŸ)or juku (ćĄŸ) for short (Suzuki 2013).

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... 2.0 DEFINING AND FRAMING THE ISSUE The execution of the Green Frog Nursery's succession plan to gradually replace its current volunteers with younger individuals is contingent upon the effective analyses of the internal and external factors present. This is reinforced by Donaldson (2001, p. 26), who states that environmental contingencies are outside the control of the managers of an organisation and organisations need to adapt to their changing environments. Whilst these difficulties have primarily occurred externally due to previously stated socio demographic trend of an ageing population, a number of internal factors have augmented the issue. The firm's capacity to attract and retain younger volunteers becomes a more prominent subject, as is the current organisational structure, which fails to establish a clear division of labour or leadership. 2.1 AUSTRALIA'S AGEING POPULATION Figure 1, taken from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2015), shows Australia's demographic trend of an ageing population between 1995 and 2015.

The manager of the festival and I had a word and he said that the only reason they are bringing the festival to South Australia is so that they can use Adelaide as a testing ground and see if there is much potential for future events.
