Migration Reboot in Plans to Address Looming Worker Shortages in Australia
With borders starting to reopen as the rate of vaccination is at an inclining trend, Australia is looking to have accepted huge waves of migrants in order to relieve the pressure on the federal government to recall skilled workers and resolve the problem of low population growth, after the country’s migration programme was brought to a halt last year.
Since then, Australia has suffered an outflow of migrants with a large number of students and workers leaving the country without having any replacements. This has led to businesses facing issues with filling up jobs to match the rebooting of the economy.
To avert the crisis of labour and expertise shortage, The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry has urged the intake of skilled migrants to be increased to 200,000 a year. As stated by the chamber’s chief executive, Mr. Andrew McKellar, the lack of migrants has already “crippled businesses across the country”.
Fully vaccinated New Zealanders are now allowed to enter Australia without the need to be quarantined. Visitors from Singapore will soon be allowed into states that have agreed to the new arrangements like New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria.
With advice from officials in the state, NSW Premier, Dominic Perrottet as well as the federal government is supporting the idea of hastening the resumption of the migration programme to strengthen the state and country’s economy while combating the low population growth simultaneously.
