Commissioned by the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia for the Australian Bicentenary, this volume provides an overview of the structure, nature, and trends in Australian society today. The contributors examine social trends in work and employment, in the changing structure of the family, and in the response of the state to changing needs in welfare and social security. The educational system is reviewed, as are the demographic shifts within Australia. Acidic paper. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
