Modelling Australian Public Service Careers

​​Australia is a highly successful multicultural country with an orderly migration system underpinned by its skilled immigration intake. So how do cultural and other types of 'diversity' affect career prospects in Australia? Presenters Nu Nu Win, Robert Breunig, and David Hansen exploit a novel dataset containing the personnel records for all Australian Public Service employees from 2001 to 2020 to investigate whether being part of an equal employment opportunity (EEO) group—women, non-English speaking background, and disability—affects promotion and leaving probabilities after controlling for skills, experience, and other attributes. They explore whether 'glass ceilings' exist for these cohorts as well as the impact of factors such as immigrating to Australia, English and cultural fluency, continent of birth, intersectionality as well as analysing changes in promotion prospects over time.
