The following research paper by Gil Sawford from Wise Lord and Ferguson Consultancy was commissioned by the Department of Economic Development in 2007 to investigate the underlying factors that influence and impact on the capability of people who are not participating in the labour force but want to work. The project aimed to identify the possible barriers and disincentives, which may be perceived or actual, to Tasmanians wanting to participate in the labour force and explore opportunities for increasing participation in the Tasmanian labour force.
