The dynamic balance of supply and demand in the labor market is a key issue at present. The change of employment quality is relatively complex. The current dynamic balance model of supply and demand cannot obtain high-precision evaluation results of employment quality and meet the requirements of practical application. Therefore, a dynamic balance model of labor market supply and demand under flexible employment is constructed. Big data network is used to set data acquisition channels, complete data collection, unify data sample format, formulate data processing flow, and obtain processed data samples. The correlation analysis method in big data analysis technology is used to complete the analysis of college graduation employment. This paper analyzes the relevant research work of employment quality evaluation, establishes the employment quality evaluation index system, collects the index data, normalizes the index data, then uses the grey correlation method to determine the weight value of the employment quality evaluation index, and uses the fuzzy c-means algorithm to establish the dynamic balance model of supply and demand in the labor market. The experimental results show that the designed method can better balance the supply-demand relationship in the labor market and has a good effect.

“…Our results support this showing that 63% of those who reported improvements in employment were from regional areas and further clients from regional areas were more likely (OR: 1.72, 95% CI: 1.27–2.33, p < 0.001) to obtain an independent licence than clients from urban areas. Recent evidence shows licensing programs are being delivered in regional communities with increased frequency [ 7 ]. These regional settings of program delivery provide an opportunity to further improve employment outcomes through facilitating access to employment pathways post licence attainment for unemployed or at-need clients.…”

“…A strength in program data was the inclusion of questions specifically related to employment outcomes which allowed for the programs impact on employment to be directly assessed. Historically no studies have reported licensing programs to deliberately include employment data and outcomes as an evaluable program component [ 7 ]. Understanding the types of jobs gained and characteristics of clients gaining employment will allow for greater understanding of the link between driver licensing and employment.…”

“…Culturally relevant driver licensing programs have been delivered with increasing frequency over the past 10 years to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to obtain a driver licence, however very few of these programs have been evaluated [ 6 , 7 ]. The few evaluated programs have shown an increase in licensing attainment amongst program clients [ 8 – 11 ].…”

“…In summary, a high proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples reside in regional and remote areas [ 3 ], where they experience the lowest rates of employment [ 13 ], where transport disadvantage is most pronounced and where licensing programs are being delivered with increased frequency [ 7 ]. The purpose of this paper is to 1) examine the impact that driver licensing programs have on client employment outcomes; 2) assess the influence of geographical area of program delivery on driver licence attainment.…”

The road beyond licensing: the impact of a driver licensing support program on employment outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians

et al. 2021

Background With increasingly tough graduated driver licensing laws in all Australian States and Territories, driver licensing support programs are recognised as being important to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to obtain a driver licence. Such programs appear to improve licensing attainment rates, but few studies have examined the broader impact that these programs can have. This research aims to 1) examine the impact of a New South Wales (NSW) based driver licensing support program (Driving Change) on client employment outcomes; 2) assess the influence of geographical area of program delivery on driver licence attainment. Methods Driving Change was delivered from February 2013 to August 2016 in 4 urban and 7 regional Aboriginal communities of NSW. Clients were followed-up at 6 months or more following contact with the program as part of routine program operations. Descriptive statistics and regression models were used to analyse data. Results From 933 clients contacted 254 agreed to provide feedback, a response rate of 27%. Those that responded were mostly female (57%), aged 24 years and under (72%), unemployed (85%) with secondary education or less (71%) and from a regional area (74%). Adjusted logistic regression indicated that clients who achieved an independent licence were more likely (OR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.22–5.24, p = 0.011) of reporting a new job or change in job than those who did not attain a licence. Clients from regional areas were more likely (OR: 1.72, 95% CI: 1.27–2.33, p < 0.001) to gain an independent licence than those from urban areas. There was no difference in employment outcomes (OR: 1.2, 95% CI: 0.53–2.52, p = 0.719) for clients from urban compared to regional areas. Conclusion The Driving Change program appears to be effective in improving employment outcomes for those who gained a licence. Clients from regional areas were more likely to gain a licence compared to those in urban settings, and were predominantly young and unemployed, often a hard to reach cohort. Future licensing programs being delivered in regional areas need integrated pathways into employment opportunities to provide holistic services that address the social and economic challenges faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
