“…This underuse of workers’ skills and experience has serious consequences for their working lives, including lower wages, slower career progress, decreased life satisfaction, poor mental health, and overall well-being (McKee-Ryan and Harvey 2011; Wilkins 2007). These impacts can also extend beyond the workers and harm the labor force paths of their families (Mooi-Reci, Liao, and Curry 2022). Despite its significant effects on working lives, both economically and socially, the variability and intensity of underemployment over the course of a worker’s career are not well understood.…”

This visualization uses annual data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey to illustrate the dynamics of underemployment for Australian men and women in their early careers (ages 25–34 years). Visualizing the dynamics of underemployment reveals that it is a persistent and gender-biased issue. Women are more likely to experience underemployment in their early careers compared with men. Additionally, women are more likely to become trapped in a cycle of underemployment and inactivity, leading to unfavorable long-term work experiences. This disparity highlights the need for policies that improve women’s human capital and productivity by addressing underemployment in their early careers.
