    This is a pre-print of the report The attractiveness of the Australian academic profession: a comparative analysis [2009] published by LH Martin Institute, University of Melbourne & Australian Council for Educational Research & Educational Policy Institute.
    Abstract
    This briefing provides an analysis of challenges facing the sustainability and development of the academic workforce in Australia. It draws together insights from national statistics collections and a number of recent studies, sheds light on current characteristics of the academic profession, and identifies key problem areas. From a review of the evidence, we argue that now is the time for both policy action at the national and institutional level to address these problems, and for further research that can inform workforce planning and development in the years to come.
