This paper examines trends in the supply and demand for elementary and secondary teachers in Australia, concluding that, overall, a sufficient supply of qualified teachers should be available to meet the expected slight increase in demand for teachers from 1998-2001. Data come from a mandated monitoring of and annual report on the supply and demand of teachers. Section 1, "Demand for Teachers," includes information on "School Aged Population,""School Retention Rates,""Student Enrollment Trends,""Student/Teacher Ratios,""Employment Trends and Prospects: Government Sector," and "Impact of Overseas Demand." Section 2, "Supply of Teachers," discusses "Employment,""Training,""Unemployment,""Pool of Available Teachers,""Graduate Employment Outcomes,""Immigration to Australia,""Interstate Mobility,""Wastage,""Graduate Destinations,""Job Mobility," and "Earnings." Section 3, "Age Profile of Teachers," discusses "Age Structure: All Teachers,""Age Related Issues," and "Age Structure: Government Sector by State/Territory." Section 4, "Labour Market Outlook for Teachers," discusses "Balance of Demand and Supply,""Sensitivity Analysis,""Teacher Recruitment: Government,""Specializations Experiencing Recruiting Difficulties," and "Prospects for Teachers." Section 5, "State/Territory Teacher Labour Markets," discusses "New South Wales,""Victoria,""Queensland,""Western Australia,""South Australia,""Tasmania,""Northern Territory," and "Australian Capital Territory."
