Australia's tech sector faces a critical skills gap. Women – who make up just 30% of the tech workforce – represent the largest untapped talent pool to close this gap. Michelle Ockers speaks with Kade Brown from RMIT Online and Rhiannon Yetsenga from Deloitte Access Economics about their latest research report into skills and talent diversity in Australia's tech workforce. They explore the key findings of the report, including the scale of the skills gap, why women are the biggest untapped opportunity to close this gap, and the business case for investing in re-skilling. The conversation also highlights practical actions organisations can take to attract, retain, and develop more women in tech roles.

This episode of "Now That's Significant, a Market Research Podcast," takes a deep dive into the current state of the New Zealand economy and its implications for the market research industry. Host Michael Howard brings you a panel discussion from the Research Association New Zealand's AGM, featuring experts from various sectors. The panel, moderated by Chair Ian Mills, includes Rob Clark from Seek, Carin Hercock from Ipsos, Jason Shoebridge from NZIER, and Liza Van der Merwe from Deloitte Access Economics. Here are five key points discussed: This Time Feels Different: The panel agrees that the current economic climate feels different from past recessions. Factors like the rapid transition from a high-spending Covid period to a recession, the reliance on migration for economic growth, and the impact of global geopolitical tensions contribute to this unique situation. Consumer Confidence and Inflation: Consumer confidence is low, driven by high inflation and the rising cost of living. The panel discusses the impact of housing costs and mortgage rates on consumer sentiment, noting that inflation in New Zealand remains stubbornly high compared to other countries. The Power of Narrative: The discussion highlights the influence of media narratives on public perception of the economy. The panel emphasizes the need for market researchers to be a voice of reason, providing data-driven insights to counterbalance negative or sensationalized reporting. Financial Literacy and Transparency: The panel raises concerns about financial literacy levels and the need for greater transparency in communicating economic data to the public. They suggest that market researchers can play a role in educating consumers and helping them understand the impact of economic trends on their lives. Productivity and Innovation: The panel identifies low productivity as a key challenge for the New Zealand economy. They discuss the need for greater investment in technology, innovation, and skills development to boost productivity and drive sustainable economic growth. A question for our listeners: How can market researchers effectively communicate complex economic data to the public in a way that is both accurate and engaging, fostering greater understanding and informed decision-making?

We often talk about the psycho-emotional costs of eating disorders for those living with them; but up to this point, we haven't learned much about the costs to society. Now we know. Since 2012, there's been a shocking 36 per cent increase in the economic burden of eating disorders to the people of Australia. In the meantime, 1.1 million people in this country are currently living with an eating disorder – that's an increase of 21% in only ten years. These and many other disturbing metrics are in the new Paying the Price Report, produced by Deloitte Access Economics and Butterfly. “In terms of economic cost, we're talking sixty-seven billion dollars per year,” says Jim Hungerford, Butterfly's CEO. “Yet, in comparison, the amount of money that is spent to prevent eating disorders or to support people who do develop them is actually minuscule.” Chantel, invested in their recovery, can relate - including that their condition could have been prevented. “The cost of my eating disorder takes up about 20% of my annual income," they say. “And this is even with Medicare rebates and private health insurance. To access a therapist for fortnightly sessions, a dietitian for quarterly sessions and a psychiatrist for quarterly sessions to manage my medication, costs me up to $11,738.97 cents every year.” Chantel isn't alone, and action is needed to change the paradigm, not only for the community but for the sake of taxpayers too. Listen to Butterfly's CEO, Jim Hungerford, Deloitte's reporting lead, Simone Cheung, and people with living experience unpack the report, and what it means for the future of prevention and care.

Host, Leanne McMahon welcomes Marcus Garrett, former MathsTalk host and current Learning Solutions Designer at RMIT Online to discuss the idea that digital mindsets which are underpinned by mathematics, are the key to unlocking opportunities for young people in the jobs market, opportunities in life and also opportunities for the Australian economy. Deloitte Access Economics and RMIT Online concluded in a report that one of the biggest emerging skill needs for the Australian economy remains digital skills, meaning the data and data interpretation skills that give people the confidence and the capacity to use digital technologies to make sound data-driven decisions when faced with complex problems. We look at how teachers can facilitate the development of these skills throughout school and how the RMIT Online team enable teachers and other professionals to build their data interpretation skills and maybe even increase their income in the process.

While sleep - or lack thereof - was already a major talking point in Australia prior to the advent of COVID-19 (I mean, the government funded a national sleep health inquiry in 2018), things haven't exactly gotten better since.  In fact, research out of Medibank found that almost 1-in-4 Australians (or nearly 5 million people) said their sleep had been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021.  Meanwhile, a 2021 report from Deloitte Access Economics found that poor sleep sets Australians back around $14.4 billion each year in financial costs, while knackered employees racked up productivity losses of $11 billion.  So in this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Livewire's Ally Selby was joined by two talented financial advisers - Felicity Thomas from Shaw and Partners and Ben Nash from Pivot Wealth - for their thoughts on three of the best set and forget ETFs so investors can rest easy at night.  Plus, we also asked our financial advisers to each name one ETF that they believe every single investor should have in their portfolios right now.  Note: This episode of Buy Hold Sell was shot on Wednesday 13th April 2022.

Michael McLaren speaks to Chris Richardson from Deloitte Access Economics to discuss the state of the economy.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia's budget situation has been quietly improving. Deloitte Access Economics director Chris Richardson says the remarkable strength of the Australian economy means it no longer needs the emergency support it has been getting from the government and the Reserve Bank. Government spending fell by a record 10% in the year to January. He counsels against emergency measures to protect Australians from the soaring price of petrol, saying today's international oil price implies that in less than a fortnight petrol prices will be between 15 and 20 cents lower a litre. While there is no guarantee they won't climb again, the relief that's in store is half as big as the relief the government could deliver by cutting fuel excise, a measure he says would be like applying a Band-Aid that would be difficult to rip off. Rather than pumping more money into the economy, the March 29 budget should be withdrawing support in a measured fashion. Although government debt has climbed, low interest rates mean the payments on government debt cost less than before COVID.   With Australia just a “handful of months” away from an unemployment rate of 3.5% – Thursday's February rate was 4.0% - Australia should celebrate its success in getting its economic policies right during COVID. While the reopening of borders will slow Australia's success in bringing down unemployment, it is unlikely to reverse it. After petrol prices, the next challenge for Australians will be higher mortgage rates, but they will be going up for a reason, Richardson says, because inflation is climbing and wage growth is climbing, which will improve the budget position further.

Approximately half of Australia's population is currently in a lockdown, and this may continue for another few months until vaccine target levels are reached. I wanted to discuss what impact this may have on the property market and the broader economy.Of course, there are wide ranging impactsThe impact of Covid lockdowns can be wide-ranging. Dealing with the challenges of home schooling, not seeing family, not enjoying your normal pastimes, business failures, job losses, mental health challenges and so on. Of course, we all have a tremendous amount of empathy for the various ways that lockdowns are negatively impacting people's lives. That said, the aim of this blog is to focus purely on economic impacts only.What we learnt from previous lockdownsThe lockdowns in Australia during 2020 and around the world taught us some valuable lessons, as there were some common themes, namely:§ Low-income earners tend to be impacted to a much greater extent. In fact, it is not uncommon for higher income earners to avoid any negative financial impacts from being in lockdown, because as they can work from home, they retain their employment and income.§ Because people cannot undertake their normal (non-lockdown) activities, we observe two economic trends. Firstly, people save more money (i.e. the savings rate spikes), which improves their financial position. Secondly, people tend to spend more on durable goods – although this trend will probably diminish at some point – how many new appliances do we really need!§ Whilst an increase in business failures hasn't yet been reflected in insolvency statistics, it stands to reason that each successive lockdown (Melbourne's onto its 6th) puts an increasing amount of pressure on some businesses, as their financial resources deplete. Anecdotally, unfortunately I have observed a greater number of business closures in the Melbourne CBD over the past couple of months.§ Overall economic demand does tend to bounce back strongly and quickly. At a macro level, demand for spending by higher income earners tends to more than compensate for lower levels of demand by income earners.But we don't have JobKeeper anymore?The federal government's Covid-19 Disaster Payment provides an income of $750 per week to those that have lost 20 hours or more of work during a lockdown. The highest JobKeeper payment during 2020 was $1,500 per fortnight, so this is on par.However, according to Deloitte Access Economics, only about 2 million Australian's were accessing this Disaster Payment in August 2021, compared to 6 million that accessed JobKeeper in March 2020. That means less money from government assistance is being pumped into the Australian economy. That said, the JobKeeper program was widely criticised for its untargeted nature e.g. some large businesses claimed JobKeeper and subsequently declared record profits and dividends (e.g. Harvey Norman). As such, perhaps this Disaster Payment package is more efficient and still just as effective. Regardless, the Australian federal government will rack up more than $1 trillion of debt from supporting the economy through Covid, so it isn't going to stop now. I expect the federal government will provide more support should it be needed.Apartment rental incomes will be under pressureRenting an apartment tends to be more affordable than renting a house. As such, apartments are tenanted by a higher proportion of lower income earners. Whilst the federal government's Disaster Payment package will hopefully avoid or minimise financial hardship, it is possible that some residential tenants will seek rent relief (in the form of a waiver of deferral) from landlords.Because Covid has adversely impacted lower income earners to a much greater extent, it is likely that apartment rental income growth will be relatively stagnant over the next one to two years.Vendors are likely to remain cautious about sellingAccording to the REA Group, property listings dropped by over 10% nationally in July, with Melbourne and Sydney experiencing much larger falls. One-on-one property inspections can still be conducted in Sydney, but not in Melbourne. Live auctions have been banned in both cities. As such, almost half of the auctions that were scheduled to occur over the past week in Melbourne were withdrawn.The fact is that vendor confidence is weak. Of course, most people are reluctant to begin a sales campaign in the middle of a lockdown, as sales activities are severly restricted. However, even when we emerge out of these lockdowns, most vendors worry about their sales campaign being interrupted by yet another lockdown.As such, I don't expect the property market (particularly supply of property listings) to normalise until the risk of lockdowns evaporates, which might not be until next year.Central banks and commodity pricesOne of the challenges with controlling the federal budget deficit will be the impact of the falling price of iron ore. Between the start of December 2020 and mid-May 2021, the price of iron ore rose by 80% from $US125 to $US215 per tonne. This boosted government revenue through mining royalties and company income tax receipts. However, iron ore prices have been falling since the start of August. It is now trading at $US160 per tonne. If this trend persists, it is not good news for the government budget.At the start of this month, the RBA announced that it would reduce its bond buying program from $5 billion per week to $4 billion in September, as it tappers off its quantitative easing (EQ). However, given the huge cost of lockdowns to states and the federal government, most commentators expect it will delay any tapering. Similarly, commentators expect the US Federal Reserve to postpone any planned tapering of its QE program due to rising delta cases in the US. It seems more central bank support might be needed.Interstate migration away from Melbourne and Sydney will almost certainly riseI shared this interstate migration chart a few weeks ago. It is noteworthy that interstate migration has been negative in NSW for quite some time. And Victorian interstate migration is trending downwards to the point that it is now negative (a net loss of 4,900 people in the March 2021 quarter compared to a net gain of 490 people in the March 2020 quarter).I think this trend will continue in that an increasing amount of people will migrate away from Melbourne and Sydney and move to Queensland. Perhaps Melbourne will fare the worst because its lockdowns have been more draconian and therefore likely to have had a more severe social and economic impact.It is important to note that negative interstate migration may reduce demand for property in Melbourne and Sydney at a macro level. However, it is unlikely to have a material impact in investment-grade locations. The reason why is that these locations tend to benefit from multifaceted demand. Therefore, even if one demand factor temporality subsides, it is very likely that overall demand will still exceed supply, thereby resulting in price appreciation.My conclusionI predict that the investment-grade property market will be largely unaffected by the prolonged lockdowns in Melbourne and Sydney. Of course, the practicalities of selling means that transaction numbers will continue to be below trend, whilst restrictions are in place. But once restrictions are lifted and the risk of further lockdowns disappears, I believe demand for property will quickly return to normal. Supply (i.e. properties for sale) is not likely to recover until 2022.However, non-investment-grade locations that are predominantly occupied by lower income earners may not fair as well.Regarding the economic recovery, at a macroeconomic level, I think the economy will bounce back relatively quickly, like it did in 2020. However, unfortunately, some sectors will now take a lot longer to recover (i.e. years, not months) such as hospitality, retail (particularly in the CBD) and tourism.

"The Ethical Advantage: The Economic and Social Benefits of Ethics in Australia" Dr Simon Longstaff, AO, Executive Director, The Ethic Centre, Sydney If ethics is defined as “a way of structuring human reasoning to help choose what is right or best”, how ethical is Australia? Only 56% of Australians think that most people can be trusted. In 2019, Australia achieved an overall score of +37 on a scale of -100 to +100 (‘somewhat ethical') on the Governance Institute of Australia's Ethics Index survey. A 2018 review found that while most ASX200 companies disclosed a code of practice, only six percent had leading practice. The recent scandalous allegations surrounding Australia Post, the Badgery Creek land transaction, branch stacking, ASIC, sexual misconduct within Federal Parliament House and many others have shone the spotlight on the lack of ethics within the public service. Australia faces many significant challenges in the post-COVID era. Navigating the health and economic impacts, responding to emerging issues around the future of work and introduction of new technologies, preparing for an increasingly risky geopolitical environment and addressing long-standing social and environmental challenges including climate change and reconciliation with Indigenous Australians are some of them. Improving trust and social capital allows for smoother functioning of markets and reduces the cost of regulation and compliance. A recent report by Deloitte Access Economics projects an increase in GDP of AUD 45 billion if Australia lifts its trust level to that of global leaders. BIO Dr. Simon Longstaff, Executive Director of the Ethics Centre, discusses the economic and social benefits of ethics to Australia. Simon Longstaff began his working life on Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory of Australia. He is proud of his kinship ties to the Anindilyakwa people. After a period studying law in Sydney and teaching in Tasmania, he pursued postgraduate studies as a Member of Magdalene College, Cambridge. Simon has been Executive Director of The Ethics Centre for 30 years. In 2013, he was made an officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for “distinguished service to the community through the promotion of ethical standards in governance and business, to improving corporate responsibility, and to philosophy.” Simon is an Honorary Professor at the Australian National University, a Fellow of CPA Australia, the Royal Society of NSW and the Australian Risk Policy Institute.

On Tuesday, the 2020 budget will be brought down. It will show a huge deficit for this financial year and massive government spending, aimed at promoting economic recovery and reducing unemployment. In the wake of COVID, the Coalition’s usual preoccupation with “debt and deficit” has become very yesterday. On this week’s Politics podcast, we speaks with Chris Richardson, partner at Deloitte Access Economics. Deloitte’s Economics Budget Monitor, released this week, favoured bringing forward the tax cuts as one measure to stimulate the economy and expected the deficit to be holding up better than earlier thought. Like economists in a recent survey  Richardson says the budget should prioritise a permanent boost to JobSeeker and fund more social housing: “The least noticed thing about this crisis is how geographically specific it is,” he says. “The job losses in Australia have been far and away the biggest where unemployment rates, suburb by suburb, town by town, out in the bush, were already the highest. … The areas that were struggling are now struggling a lot more. The areas that weren’t struggling haven’t been that hard hit.” “And one real advantage of boosting unemployment benefits. It’s probably the single most targeted regional spend you can do in Australia at a time when that is needed most.” And on social housing: “Think of what this virus has done all around the world. It’s found the weakest link in every nation. "It’s travelled through the political system, the political divide in the US, it’s travelled through the migrant workers, construction workers in Singapore. "In Australia, it showed up or could have shown up through our very low unemployment benefit… And social housing. You saw those towers locked down, as the virus got away on us in Melbourne. And again, both social housing and unemployment benefits. That’s money that would be spent. It makes it good stimulus.”

For many Australians the surest path to wealth has been to invest in bricks and mortar. But will it always be as safe as houses?

Ahead of next week's mid-year economic and fiscal outlook, the government has been hit with the sobering news that real GDP shrank in the September quarter. Deloitte Access Economics' Chris Richardson offers some context to the gloomy figures. “Perhaps a better way to describe it is the numbers have been artificially good for a while and now they're looking artificially bad. The bottom line is that for four years now, Australia's economy has been growing just a little bit below trend and that's partly because the boom in China has peaked. China has slowed and that is throwing some challenges our way.” Richardson tells Michelle Grattan he sees a lot that is missing from the debate about how to strengthen the economy and the budget. “If you asked the person in the street - they're aware that there are challenges but they don't really know what they are and that worries me because getting good policies requires a good understanding from the electorate,” Richardson says. Richardson foresees minimal immediate consequences if credit ratings agencies downgrade Australia's triple A credit rating in the near future. “In the short term, it is absolutely not a big deal. … Part of the reason why interest rates are very, very low is that investors are very, very scared and they want to put their money in super safe places and lending your money to the Australian government is still a remarkably safe thing to do right now. "So yes, there would be a minor impact on the borrowing costs of the Australian government. I cannot get excited about that in the near term.”

Chris Richardson is one of Australia's best known economists and is in charge of Deloitte Access Economics' forecasting and policy unit. He talks to Michelle Grattan about the Australian economy, the upcoming budget and the commission of audit.
