Raja Junankar

Adjunct Professor Raja Junankar is affiliated with the UNSW Canberra School of Business at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). With a career spanning over five decades, his work focuses on Labor Economics, Migration Studies, and Macroeconomics, particularly examining the impact of immigration on the Australian economy and unemployment dynamics.

His research highlights critical intersections between economic policy and social equity, including studies on graduate labor market outcomes, microcredit programs in Bangladesh, and the informal labor market in India. Recent publications address global financial crises, pandemic-induced economic challenges, and methodological debates in economic theory.

Article analyses reveal consistent engagement with macroeconomic policy, migrant settlement patterns, and labor market discrimination. While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, his editorial contributions (e.g., Economics of Unemployment) and extensive book chapters underscore sustained academic influence.
