Anglicare Australia will often publish materials that speak to the experiences of those who access our member services but which don’t quite fall into our core publications.
This report analyses financial hardship in Australia using a number of quantitative measures including deprivation, financial stress, expenditure analysis and poverty analysis. The report takes a special interest in households where the main source of income is derived from either the Newstart Allowance (NSA) or the job seeker Youth Allowance (YA). These are the two main payments received by unemployed persons in Australia. The report has been prepared for the Major Church Providers.
This report provides an analysis of financial hardship in Australia through a number of lenses. Poverty measures are constructed to consider the extent of resource constrained households through the perspective of the OECD half-median income measure. To add extra dimensions to the financial hardship measures we add the more direct measures of deprivation and financial stress and provide a detailed analysis of the expenditure patterns within households. Such measures are considered for different household types and government beneficiary households.
