Implications of an Ageing Australia, Productivity Commission April 2005THE CHANGING STRUCTURE OF AGE

The Age Chasm Drake White Paper Volume 2, No. 5Successfully Managing age in your Organisation

As the population ages a fault line is emerging that separates the past and future landscapes of the Australian workforce. For the foreseeable future, growth in the supply of labour will be firmly concentrated in the group aged 45 years and over.

For every new young person entering the labour market today, there are seven people aged 45 years and over available. By 2010 this will create permanent shortages in the Australian Labour Market forcing organisations to dramatically re-think their employment practices.

This chart shows the labour force growth.We are currently experiencing rapidly decreasing labour force growth but this will be most protracted for the decade of the 2020s.The average growth during 1980s and 1990s was 170,000 per annum, by the 2020s it will be 12,500 per annum. This provides a significant challenge for sustainability and growth in all sectors.The Mining sector has what is considered a prime age profile.The challenges for the sector lie in attracting younger entrants and maintaining the connection of older workers.The most significant gains can be made by delaying the exit of older workers post 45 years of age where there is a significant drop off.Conferences - The opportunity to maintain a competitive edge with up-to-date knowledge through participation in AusIMM events: from branch meetings, regional seminars, national and international conferences. Publications - Access to leading edge information Publications issued by The AusIMM include: conference volumes, Monographs, special subject publications (produced under a series banner entitled the Spectrum Series), The AusIMM Proceedings/International Transactions (a technical refereed journal) and The AusIMM Bulletin (published six times per year and is a highly regarded source of information for both management and technical staff in the office and in the field). Publications are produced to benefit members' knowledge and professional development. Communication - Keep updated on the latest issues affecting your profession and industry through this web site, Week In Review, Branch newsletters, The AusIMM Bulletin, President, CEO and staff visits.Networking and Mentoring - Through association with members of diverse professional practice which broadens members' outlook and appreciation of issues which face the minerals industry. Career development is enhanced through association with peers and more experienced members. Student Chapters, Branches, the Women In Mining group, auxiliaries and events enhance these associations.Continuing Professional Development and Education - A comprehensive matrix of undergraduate course recognition (supported by scholarships and bursaries) and post-graduate technical and non-technical course affiliations to promote and foster Continuing Professional Development and Education (CPD&E) and thereby Continuing Career Development. Recognition is given to members who commit to and engage in CPD&E through the Register of Chartered Professionals. Employment - The AusIMM Member Benefit Career Centre is powered by SEEK through a strategic alliance between The AusIMM and SEEK Communications Ltd. SEEK is the No.1 On-line employment service in Australia. This partnership enables The AusIMM's members to access all of SEEK's employment and career development services. AusIMM members are able now to search hundreds of jobs in the mining and resources sector and companies and to use SEEK's time saving recruitment tools to find staff. Industry Experience for Undergraduates - A vital part of tertiary education for a professional career in the minerals industry is for undergraduates to engage in industry experience over the course of their degree. The Minerals Council of Australia recognises the importance of work experience in encouraging the best undergraduates and offers a single point registration portal for undergraduates who want to obtain vacation work with minerals companies. Register by visiting Minerals Council of Australia website at http://www.minerals.org.au and click on Industry Experience.Codes and Best Practice - The AusIMM has a robust Code of Ethics and provides leadership in the development of best practice guides such as the JORC and VALMIN Codes. Adherence is essential when signing off on reports. International coverage - The membership base spreads well beyond Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea with members and correspondents practicing in the global minerals industry. Representation - The AusIMM has representation on other professional bodies, councils and associations to promote, support and enhance the professionalism of members. The commitment of members to Codes and the CPD&E is promoted to regulators and companies, with many companies directly contributing to the membership subscription of their professionals.Speaking Out - In response to members' demands, The AusIMM speaks out and has public notices on issues affecting the industry, the future employment of professionals and the significance of the industry to the wealth of the host nations.Member services - The very successful Commonwealth Bank Gold Privilege Program offering discounted home loan rates and the Member Advantage Program with discounts on health, life, home, motor, travel and indemnity insurances as well as other discounts and special offers.
