About[edit]
Per Capita “works to build a new vision for Australia based on fairness, shared prosperity and social justice.”[2][better source needed]
Per Capita describes their research and policy prescriptions as "rigorous, evidence-based and long-term in outlook... focused on the challenges for the next generations rather than the next election cycle."[3][better source needed] Their publications and activities “are intended to deepen political, social and economic democracy.”[3][better source needed]
Impact[edit]
Per Capita's research on Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme suggested the scheme generates an economic return of AU$2.25 for every dollar spent.[4] This figure often quoted by the media.[5][6][7]

Per Capita's research areas include affordable housing, Australia's transition to a post-carbon economy, work and workers, gender equality, ageing, progressive economics, education and social innovation.[8]
