From the Guest Managing Editor

According to the ABS, labour force participation and employment in June 2021 were up on a year earlier and there was some concern about the development of labour shortages. [...]I would like to thank the authors for their thoughtful contributions and for their enthusiasm and commitment in meeting the tight deadlines for this Special Issue. [...]not least, I would like to thank Sandie Rawnsley for her excellent work as an editorial assistant to the journal and for getting this issue out in a timely manner.
