Salary Relativities and the Academic Labour Market
Publish Date:
The project was funded from the 2001 Higher Education Innovation Programme. The report found that Australian universities are making extensive use of salary loadings and other incentives to attract new academic staff and retain existing staff. The report argues that the main reason for the use of these incentives is because Australian academic salaries are relatively uncompetitive with comparable private sector salaries in Australia and some overseas academic salaries. The report also found that universities are finding it difficult to fill positions at both the bottom level of the salary range ?? associate lecturer ?? and at the top end ?? professor. The difficulty in filling the lower end positions could reflect the declining attraction of academic careers. The report suggests that a major shortfall of academics in the English-speaking world is likely over the next decade which could make it more difficult for Australian universities to recruit staff.

Trends in Undergraduate Career Education
Publish Date:
Published by the US National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the paper examines trends in undergraduate credentials (certificates, associate's degrees, and bachelor's degrees) in career-related areas of study. These trends are examined at both the subbaccalaureate and baccalaureate levels, from 1984-85 to 2000-01. The number of undergraduate credential awards increased over this period, in both academic and career areas, and at both the subbaccalaureate and baccalaureate levels. Although career education grew at a slower pace than academic education, it remained a majority proportion of undergraduate credentials in 2000-01. In addition, of the 11 career areas of study, 6 increased as a proportion of all credentials at the subbaccalaureate level, and 4 increased at the baccalaureate level. Career areas that declined as a proportion of all credential awards were largely concentrated in business/marketing and engineering/architectural sciences, at both levels of education.
