These include borderless industries, privatization, flexibility, enterprise bargaining, and a shift from "large-scale heavy-industry work to the expanding world of services" (Walstab, Teese and Hussey, 2001). For instance, the manufacturing
sectors share of the Australian GDP was 28.3 percent in 1970 and 20.6 percent in 1973 and 13.4 percent in 1997 (Walstab, Teese and Hussey, 2001). At the same time,
the total services sector rose from 66.0 percent in 1975 to 69.5 percent in 1997 (Walstab, Teese and Hussey, 2001). These economic changes have resulted in shifts in the labor
force needed (Walstab, Teese and Hussey, 2001). One of the major shifts is that from blue-collar workers so needed in the manufacturing sector to white-collar workers in the service sector
(Walstab, Teese and Hussey, 2001). The need for more white-collar workers inherently means that more education and training are needed for these occupations that include computer technicians, accountants, economists, and
numerous other professionals (Walstab, Teese and Hussey, 2001). One of the major changes in society is the ageing of the population (OECD Observer, 2005). This is a fact that is

a lesser extend in public pensions (OECD Observer, 2005). To counter these effects, the government is looking at different policies that will lead to increased productivity (OECD Observer, 2005). One
recent report suggested that policies that increase labor participation as well as labor productivity are both needed (OECD Observer, 2005). The goal of such policies would be an increase in
