Are more Australians working multiple jobs to stay afloat, and what does this mean for wellbeing? Yesterday, Isaac Koomson, PhD from our Springfield team published new research in Social Science and Medicine exploring an issue that has come up again and again in our conversations with community members: how people are working more than one job to keep up with rising expenses, build experience, or stabilise income. These stories prompted us to look more closely at what multiple job holding means for wellbeing on a national scale. Using 22 waves of HILDA data, our researchers found a clear pattern. Moonlighting (or working multiple jobs) is associated with a notable decline in subjective wellbeing, with stronger effects for men, high income earners, urban residents and those in higher socioeconomic areas. The mechanisms were compelling too. Working multiple jobs was linked with greater time stress and reduced quality time with children, both of which appear to explain much of the wellbeing impact. Even though the data are national rather than Springfield specific, the study was motivated directly by what we have been hearing locally. It is a powerful reminder that community insights help shape rigorous and policy relevant research. A huge congratulations to the team on this timely and important contribution. This is exactly the kind of evidence that strengthens Springfield Healthy Hearts and reinforces the value of our living lab approach.

When looking at the bark of the tree, ensure that the forest remains in perspective. Most disability regulations and standards focus on high barriers that appear with low frequency. Recently, Mark Winward at The Return on Disability Group ran a study of over 2,000 US-based PWD to address retail channel preference. Survey findings revealed a consistent pattern: the behavior of PWD and non-PWD was almost always statistically the same, save a small increase in the frequency of digital retail over that of in-person shopping. With our clients and prospects, many conversations of digital design are centered on the needs of those using assistive technology – almost always screen readers. Regulation often reinforces this conversation. However, getting this part of design right only represents a tiny fraction of designing for, and from, disability. To maximize impact on consumer experience, it is essential to understand use-cases from across disability, and from different types of assistive technology. This does not mean the needs of screen reader users should be ignored, rather, they should be seen as a small part of a larger design process meant to maximize useability across all potential consumers. For further insights, you can explore the full study here: https://lnkd.in/gWiMwqZd #cx #disability #pwd #UserResearch
