Changes that have been reshaping the conditions of employment in Australia since the 1990s have been wrought by a series of policy choices set against a background of social, political and technological change in the broader international economy. This chapter sketches a map of these developments and their consequences for employment conditions and labour standards in the Australian economy. In particular the chapter explores the deterioration in the quality and quantity of employment consequent upon industrial relations deregulation and the alternative policy developments that would be required to ameliorate the negative social impacts of changes in the labour market.
