Since the formalisation of labour market in Australia, lots of changes have been occurring in this market. At first, the labour market was dominated by the male workers as traditionally males were the main financial supporters of their families (Borland J, 2002). Moreover, initially in the Australian labour market, the unemployment rate was very low and workers were not that much educated. Therefore it can be said that in that stage, the labours in the Australian market place were not skilled like the modern age workers. Moreover, most of the workers were working in the agricultural sector (Borland J, 2002). However, the characteristics of the labour market have changed over time. Current labour market consists of both male and female workers.
