The Australian labour market is adjusting constantly to changes in labour demand and supply. The incentives to participate in the labour force, and to study, change with varying economic circumstances and life cycle factors. As circumstances change, some workers expand (or contract) their hours of work, other workers change jobs, while others cease work for various lengths of time. Some search for a job, others leave the labour force. To improve their prospects, some individuals remain in, or return to, education. Others exhibit stable employment with no change in their labour market status over long periods of time.
