Description
Entrenched disadvantage - long-term, persistent, and chronic disadvantage - is a 'wicked problem' in Australia, and current government policies to remove entrenchment are not working. This paper explains the nature and scope of entrenched disadvantage and calls for new policies that work to both lessen disadvantage and make sure it does not become entrenched. To explore these issues in more detail, the paper features three chapters that examine the particular key areas of education gaps, Indigenous disadvantage, and mental illness. These chapters are written by noted experts Peter Saunders, Francisco Azpitarte, Eve Bodsworth, Anne Hampshire, Nicholas Biddle, and Lorna Moxham.
