Specifically, it examines how such expenditures influence three key indicators: the headcount poverty rate, the Gini coefficient and the income share of the lowest decile. Drawing on a panel dataset of 74 countries spanning 1991–2021, we employ panel econometric techniques (e.g. GMM, 2SLS and Quantile regression) to evaluate the impact of social spending. Our results indicate that in high-income countries, increased social protection spending is strongly associated with reductions in both poverty and inequality. By contrast, although this type of spending in middle-income countries similarly reduces poverty, it paradoxically appears to diminish the income share of the lowest earners. Further analysis suggests that the interplay of corruption and e-governance practices underlies these divergent outcomes, highlighting the importance of resilient governance in enhancing the equity effects of social policies. These findings suggest that effective public policies, especially with regard to income redistribution, should integrate anti-corruption measures and e-governance improvements alongside social protection spending to achieve sustained poverty reduction and equitable growth.","PeriodicalId":47484,"journal":{"name":"Economic Record","volume":"102 336","pages":"99-137"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147566390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Established in 1925, the journal has played a central role in advancing economic research in Australia and beyond. To commemorate its 100th anniversary in 2025, this study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of its publication and citation landscape. Drawing on all publications indexed in the Scopus database (1925–2024) and the Web of Science Core Collection (1966–2024), this paper examines highly cited documents, prolific authors, institutions and countries of origin, and evolving research themes. A suite of bibliometric techniques including co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and keyword co-occurrence was employed using VOSviewer and bibliometrix. The findings highlight the journal's deep and evolving contributions to fields such as labour economics, macroeconomic modelling, and public policy, with particularly strong participation from institutions in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The journal's growth and global engagement over recent decades underscore its status as a vital platform for applied economic research.","PeriodicalId":47484,"journal":{"name":"Economic Record","volume":"101 335","pages":"547-597"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145719741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of 2021 data for Australia detects that average hourly wage rates are 9.9 per cent lower in female-concentrated occupations compared with male-concentrated occupations, and 3.8 per cent lower in female-concentrated industries compared with male-concentrated industries. Looking at unpaid work that is invisible in national accounts, analysis of time use data finds that 55 per cent of women's labour contribution to the economy is in the form of unpaid work and care, compared with 31 per cent of men's. Adding unpaid work and care to paid work, and adjusting for the undervaluation of female-concentrated jobs and the male wage premium, sees women's share of total labour input expand from 36.8 per cent to 50.5 per cent. These findings are informative across a range of practical applications, including equitable wage settings, the division of household assets, and measurements of productivity. The relegation of this topic of inquiry as a specialist ‘feminist issue’ constitutes a structural gender bias within the economics discipline: ‘women's work’ needs to be fully recognised and valued as a core component of the economy.","PeriodicalId":47484,"journal":{"name":"Economic Record","volume":"101 335","pages":"421-455"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1475-4932.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145719576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
