摘要: Abstract This paper examines the relationship between quality of life indicators and gross value minerals production from Australian regions. We used indicators, aggregated for 71 local government areas containing mining activities, household income, housing affordability, access to communication services, educational attainment, expectancy, unemployment. find no evidence systematic negative associations production. Instead, activity has a positive impact on incomes, access, education employment across regional remote Australia. Whilst we do not establish causality life, our analysis prompts rethink resource curse as it applies within single country. did curse, at level, in Australia’s Nevertheless, note observations by many other researchers social impacts specific demographic sectors, localities, families fly-in fly-out operations, individuals. contrast may be scale issue, with benefits mineral wealth masking highly localised inequalities disadvantage. suggest that there is need better understand these and, more importantly, types policy mechanisms industry can adopt mitigate or avoid them.
