This submission is a review of research literature in Australia since 1990. It focuses on the following seven issues: strengthening demand, information, intermediaries, increasing responsiveness of supply, funding of training, TAFE in a competitive training market, and regulation.
The review of recent Australian literature makes it apparent that more research will be needed in order to obtain a more comprehensive and coherent picture of the factors which influence the training market.
