Can a country have a strong economy without its people? 🇮🇪

Ireland’s headline GDP per person makes it one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but the numbers don’t tell the whole story. With multinational companies shaping the economy and young Irish people leaving in search of opportunities, Ireland is facing a very different challenge: how do you build a strong economy while keeping people connected to the country?

This week Neil Pharaoh and Dr Erin Watson are joined by Rob Ryan, CEO of the
Parenting Research Centre for a wide-ranging conversation exploring parenting in modern Australia, community, social policy and the issues shaping our lives.

Do Australian parents still have a village? 🎙️

More than half of Australian parents report feeling lonely at least occasionally, while 12% report levels of distress that meet a clinical threshold. Parenting can be rewarding, but it can also be isolating, especially when support networks are harder to find.

This week, Neil Pharaoh and Dr Erin Watson are joined by Rob Ryan, CEO of the Parenting Research Centre, to discuss parenting in modern Australia.

They explore findings from the Parenting Today survey, alongside loneliness, self-doubt, social media, support networks, the changing role of the village, and what governments and communities can do to better support parents and families.

Literacy is more than the ability to read and write. It is a foundation for opportunity, participation and a more inclusive society.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of International Literacy Day, under the theme “Literacy for people, the planet and prosperity.”

Today, we recognise the importance of ensuring everyone has the literacy skills they need to learn, participate and thrive, and the role that governments, organisations and communities can play in making this possible.

Literacy is a right. Literacy creates opportunity. Literacy strengthens communities.
