Older Australian workers could solve skills shortage
On average, older Australian workers experience longer periods of underemployment, despite underemployment generally being more common among younger workers, according to figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
In September 2009, almost half (48%) of part-time underemployed people aged 45-54 years, and 45% of those aged 55 years and over, had been underemployed for one year or more.
The average number of extra hours that underemployed part-time workers wanted rose from 13.4 hours per week in September 2008 to 14.1 in September 2009. However, the average number of hours usually worked by part-time underemployed people remained at 17 hours per week over the same period.
The main difficulties in obtaining more hours reported were 'no vacancies in line of work' (21%) and 'no vacancies at all' (16%).
