Dr Mahuteau has been an Associate Professor of Economics and Senior Researcher at the Future of Employment and Skills (FES) research centre at the University of Adelaide since November 2017. Prior to this appointment he was the Deputy Director and Senior Research Fellow at the National Institute of Labour Studies (NILS) at Flinders University. He has an extensive knowledge of large microeconomic datasets and advanced applied econometrics and in utilising them to inform the design of economic and social policy. He has been extensively involved in a range of commissioned research projects that he has led or contributed to, and that have influenced policy design and evaluation in a range of government priority areas.
He is currently involved in the NDIS evaluation where he is responsible for the quantitative elements of developing the longitudinal survey of people with disability and their families and carers which aims at evaluating the early impact of NDIS support.
Stéphane has consulted widely for state level governments and at national level (NCVER, DEEWR, NCVER, DVA, DIAC) on issues relating to labour markets, education and social policy. Among recent contributions, he was the author of two reports for the Department of Veteran Affairs investigating the challenges faced by young veterans on the Australian labour market and providing education pathway guidance for successful transitions. In 2016, he consulted for the Commonwealth Grants Commission (CGC) on issues related to the wage differentials between the public and private sectors in Australia. In 2015 and 2016, he produced two reports for the NCSEHE (National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education), the first one on Educational outcomes of young indigenous Australian, and the second one on Labour market outcomes of Australian university graduates from equity groups. In 2011-12 he contributed to a report for the Department of Education (DEEWR) on Labour mobility of VET graduates.
In 2011, he was in charge of the multivariate analyses for one of the reports that informed the Gonski review of school funding. The report was on ‘school challenges and opportunities’ and was instrumental in shaping the eventual policy recommendations of the Gonski review.
Dr Mahuteau is currently chief investigator on an Australian Research Council, Linkage program titled “Achieving a skilled and sustainable aged care workforce for Australia”.
