Youth Unemployment and Australian Public Policy

Abstract

The goal of a research paper is to bring together different views, evidence, and facts on the issue of young unemployment in the context of Australian public policy. The research would include data and information from books, articles, and interviews. Public policy is an essential element in the context of citizenā€™s life. It is believed that there are insufficient formulations in the context of Australian public policy related to the important issues of young unemployment. The major issue in this context is the issue of young unemployment. However, the issues relating to asylum seekers, human right and national security are also related elements and all these would be addressed in the research.

As per the basic research, it can be stated that there is major issues related to Australian public policy and there is enough scope to rectify and reformulate it. To answer this question of public policy of Australia, one must have a clear understanding of the terms ā€˜Public Opinionā€™ and ā€˜Public Choiceā€™. The pooled or collective perspective of the public concerning a specific issue may be termed as Public Opinion. The Public Choice theory presents the scope of using economic tools to evaluate issues traditionally belonging to the domain of political science. Issues generally receive a fractured mandate. Frequent interaction should share background context as well as being familiar with each other. In the context of qualitative method operations, communication relates to inter personnel office communication such as phone, documents, memos, email, FAX and voicemail. These communicative systems would help the research to meet its goal.

Introduction

The goal of a research paper is to bring together different views, evidence, and facts on the issue of young unemployment in the context of Australian public policy. The research would include data and information from books, articles, and interviews. Alongside, the research proposal would enumerate the data collection methods, and then the interpreting of the collected information.

Problem statement

Public policy is an essential element in the context of citizenā€™s life. It is believed that there are insufficient formulations in the context of Australian public policy related to the important issues of young unemployment (Zimmerman 2006). Thus, it is imperative to conduct a full-scale study and indicate the faults of the Australian public policy formulations and provide a recommendation to overcome those, if necessary and if possible.

Thus, the research question would be

What are the possible measures to improve the problem of young unemployment in the context of Australian public policy?

Context and importance

In recent times, in Australia, the elements of young unemployment are becoming serious issues as it is filing to provide its citizens the required amount of facilities (Head 2008).

Rationale

Thus, it is necessary to design a new Australian public policy, if needed. However, to achieve this, it is important to construct a database that would guide the policy makers to rectify the present condition.

Major issues and sub-problems

The major issue in this context is the issue of young unemployment. However, the issues relating to asylum seekers, human right and national security are also related elements and all these would be addressed in the research.

Key independent and dependent variables

The key independent variables in this study would be related to the secondary data of young unemployment with is, incidentally, not very widely available. In the context of dependent variables, the major element would be the interviews taken.

Hypothesis or theory

As per the basic research, it can be stated that there is major issues related to Australian public policy and there is enough scope to rectify and reformulate it.

Delimitation

The secondary research would be conducted within a timeframe of ten years. However, in the case of the primary research, there would be a total of approximately 100 participants that would include administrators, scholars, journalists, service holders and general mass. A higher count of participants would have definitely helped but to keep the results within control only 100 participants would be considered.

Literature review

To answer this question of public policy of Australia, one must have a clear understanding of the terms ā€˜Public Opinionā€™ and ā€˜Public Choiceā€™. The pooled or collective perspective of the public concerning a specific issue may be termed as Public Opinion. Political economy is an issue, which has enormous implications on the daily lives on the population of any democracy. The Public Choice theory presents the scope of using economic tools to evaluate issues traditionally belonging to the domain of political science (Guy 1995).

In a democracy, the most prevalent form of understanding the Public Opinion is through elections. However, the extent to which the voters judgment influences the policy making process is an issue which is highly controversial. Issues become more intricate, as public policy and market competition do not share similar attitudes or for a matter of fact the same constraints (Dahlitz 2008).

Firstly, a unified public opinion is very difficult to be formed. Collective opinion need to fit the aphorism ā€œone size fits allā€. Issues generally receive a fractured mandate. This heads for reduced welfare and convoluted trade-offs. Administrative agents are generally elected or chosen on the grounds of political benefaction and owe modest loyalty to those whose predilection they stand for. The principal-agent predicament frequently causes policy makers to take the corrupt path giving their self-interests a lot of importance and the mass continues to be unaware of actual action. Thus, while exploring the issues of young unemployment in the context of Australian public policy; it is important to understand this issue. The literature review of provide an all round view of this issue (Brooks 2006).

Method

The method that would be employed in this research is qualitative method. Alongside, there would be use of interviews and analysis of interviews. However, it should be taken into contention that to obtain such goals in finding legitimate and verified answers substantial and thorough research should be operated in a far larger scale. For example, for interactions away from desk, the first and foremost variable required is to find out the exact location of occurrence (Yin 2003). Thus, regular visits to the administrative offices are absolutely needed. Next, it should be looked into whether there are enough variables on the structural properties, examining how conversations are opened and closed and the ways that participants introduce and agree on conversation context. Another test prediction is about frequency. Frequent interaction should share background context as well as being familiar with each other. We therefore expected frequent interactions to show less formality in opening and closing interactions as well as reduced need for context setting. This would make it possible to get the perfect insight the issues of the research (Tashakkori & Teddlie 1998).

Result

In the context of qualitative method operations, communication relates to inter personnel office communication such as phone, documents, memos, email, FAX and voicemail. These communicative systems could be termed as formal communication system. There are also other forms of communication and it could be termed as informal communication. Informal communications could be defined as taking place synchronously in face-to-face settings. Questionnaire data produce estimates of between 25% and 70% of time being spent in face-to-face interaction, with these figures depending on job type. Similarly, and again, depending of the industry formal communication system may occupy about 54% to about 91% of the time spent on an average (Mason 2002).

Discussion

However, it should be mentioned there are certain limitations of the study. A number of people (usually senior administrators) may also insist that the general mass have no contribution to the issue. Many of them may think that youths come into the working formulation only during the election scenario and never in the development plan of the formulation procedure. As a result they do not use the requisite strategic techniques or adaptive methods that need to be exercised while developing a study such as this. However, it creates a void in the test as this limitation can be overcome by taking the subject into better mode of confidence. However, at the same time, it should also be noted that there are certain limitations regarding the methodology of the interview aspect.
