VICTORIAN WOMEN’S TRUST/ UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND Unpaid Labour Questionnaire
The Victorian Women’s Trust and the School of Social Sciences at the University of Queensland is gathering information from women in Victoria as part of a research project to evaluate women’s unpaid labour and its value to the Australian market economy. The project is designed to assist women to identify and recognise the enormous value of their unpaid labour, and to provide data that will drive a public policy reform process that properly values women’s vital contribution to Australia’s society and economy. You can assist in this process by providing us with your valuable insight and experience. Your contribution will help to fuel future advocacy and public policy reform. Please feel free, also, to forward this email on to friends and colleagues. There are two parts to the research process, a questionnaire and focus group discussions. Questionnaire: The questionnaire is being e-mailed to the Trust’s online database. Your participation, by way of completing and returning this document, would be greatly appreciated. Focus Groups: We invite you to participate in small group discussions so that we may learn more about your experiences of unpaid labour. These focus groups will take 2 hours and will be facilitated by Dr Helen Johnson of the University of Queensland during the first week of October 2002. Focus groups are planned for the Mornington Peninsula on Monday 30 September, in Wodonga on Wednesday 2 October and in the Central Highlands on Thursday 3 October. If you are interested in participating in one of these forums, please contact Trish Pinto at the Women’s Trust on (03) 9642 0247 or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please indicate your preference for a morning or afternoon session.
