Our Lead Economic Security and Governance, Dr ⁦⁦⁦Emily Millane⁩ joined ⁦SBS News⁩ to provide her thoughts on the Government’s proposed reforms to superannuation. #auspol #superannuation #reform linkedin.com/posts/impact-e…

‘The introduction of paid parental leave in 2011 has increased employment of mothers with children aged under 5 by 74,245. This represents a direct economic benefit of $8.5 billion to GDP in 2021-22,’ @EconomistAnge & Impact Economics and Policy static1.squarespace.com/static/61e32e6…

The Impact Economics and Policy report looks at how the Activity Test for access to the child care subsidy is a barrier to female participation. Abolishing the test will improve access to early learning for children AND boost employment by almost 40,000 adding $4.5 billion to GDP. #IWD2023

It is also complex, confusing and easier for the well off to rort, which means it is disadvantaged children who are locked out of early education. @EconomistAnge

"A new report by @EconomistAnge & Impact Economics and Policy shows: the activity test not only restricts hundreds of thousands of 🇦🇺children from accessing quality early learning, it also is locking many parents, mostly mothers, out of paid work," says Georgie Dent in our MR 👇🏽 #auspol

The Activity Test, which limits access to subsidised child care based on work hours, was meant to incentivise participation in the labour market. Instead, it acts as a barrier to women returning to work. New from Impact Economics and Policy @EconomistAnge: static1.squarespace.com/static/61e32e6… #auspol

"🇦🇺 continues to lag other developed countries in terms of women's labour force participation, with policy settings around paid parental leave & child care undermining progress." It's time to abolish the activity test & increase paid parental leave! static1.squarespace.com/static/61e32e6…

Today's Impact Economics and Policy report supports our call for the removal of the childcare subsidy activity test. Doing so will help to improve access to quality early childhood education & care for all children, and support mothers to return to work. For every child, access to education.

New report by Impact Economics and Policy shows 🇦🇺 women have third lowest rates of participation in full-time work across OECD ➡️ Better Policies for Better Lives. We’re calling on the Federal Government to abolish the activity test & increase paid parental leave in the upcoming May Budget. static1.squarespace.com/static/61e32e6… #auspol

Momentum is building to abolish the Activity Test for Child Care. #participation #childhooddevelopment #auspol abc.net.au/news/2023-03-0…

Tax breaks on superannuation are excessively generous and should be wound back to help fix the budget. Our new report by Brendan Coates Joey Moloney shows how to make the super system fairer. #auspol #ausecon buff.ly/40JgZJQ

While today's decision will come as a relief for a lot of Australians, we know people will continue to struggle. That's why the costs of living are the primary focus of our economic plan and the upcoming Budget. #auspol #ausecon
