HILDA Survey Research Conference

The Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research is proud to present the 2026 HILDA Survey Research Conference, supported by the Australian Government Department of Social Services (DSS).

Particular attention will be given to the consequences of change, including impacts on health and subjective well-being, employment and jobs, family life and incomes and wealth.
