As Chart 6 indicates, the period of rapid GDP growth has not been accompanied by significantly higher rates of net employment generation, with the employment growth in the most recent period still slower than the rates of expansion achieved in the period 1987-88 to 1993-94. Further, more detailed data reveal that the quality of employment has deteriorated significantly, with less days worked per year and more reliance on precarious Iow-remuneration self employment. There has been a significant decline in the proportion of all forms of wage employment. But the latest survey round suggests that even casual employment has fallen in proportion to total employment.
