Emigrate to australia: skilled workers wanted
![]() Emigrate to Australia where more than one in four workers Down Under were born in another country.
Since 1945, immigrants and their immediate descendants have accounted for over half of Australia’s population growth. The foreign-born population as a share of total population is higher in Australia than in any other OECD country, except for Luxembourg and Switzerland. “Australia is actively looking for skilled workers and will continue to need more workers for many years to come,” says Darrell Todd, founder of thinkingaustralia “Opportunities for migrants are increasing. Contact us today to find out how you could live and work in Australia”. Australia’s visa and immigration policies have changed a lot in recent years. They are now focused on skilled, working holiday and international student visas. Skilled migrants have boosted Australia’s ageing population, improved labour productivity, helped businesses to source skills that are difficult to find at short notice and addressed the needs of regional areas and industries. Unemployment among skilled immigrants is negligible because they tend to be employed in high-income occupations and contribute more to government revenue through taxation than they take through public services and benefits. Just as a steady inflow of immigrants has eased Australia’s shift from a manufacturing to a services economy, they will play an important role in helping Aussie businesses to innovate in the face of intensified global competition and technological change.

SYDNEY — In Australia, the Chinese are the third biggest migrant group behind the British and those from New Zealand. But the pattern of new settlement has changed in past decades. In the 1970s and ‘80s there was an influx of those escaping Communism, while more recent arrivals are often wealthier, better skilled and are more sympathetic to the authorities back home. China is also Australia’s biggest trading partner.
Chinese New Year has become a glittering part of Sydney’s social calendar. There have never been more people of Chinese origin in Australia. They have a long history in this country, going back to the Gold Rush of the mid 1800s. These days Australia is actively recruiting wealthier business migrants from China, as well as tens of thousands of students. Wen Chen arrived in Australia three years ago and is a graduate from the University of Sydney, where she works as a special project officer at the China Studies Centre. She says she values her Chinese heritage. “I am an advocate for Chinese culture and traditions and all kind of knowledge and I am a proud Chinese (person) because I have a very positive perspective about Australian-China relationship and I feel good to help more people around me to get better knowledge about my country, so, yes, I am proud of that,” she said. The latest estimate suggests there are 1.2 million people of Chinese heritage in Australia, out of an overall population of 24 million. James Laurenceson from the University of Technology Sydney says the patterns of migration from China have changed in recent decades. “Earlier on it was mainly a humanitarian program - lots of Chinese immigrants coming under a refugee program, for example, in the late 1980s. Now it is firmly targeted towards skilled migrants and business migrants. So for example, in Australia we have a significant investment visa program, which is to attract overseas high-net worth individuals. 90 per cent of the applicants coming into Australia through that program are from China,” said Laurenceson. Multicultural Australia does have a racist underbelly and a survey last year found that more than a third of Chinese immigrants in Australia say they had faced discrimination. As well as prejudice, many older migrants from China had to overcome language problems and build new lives from scratch. John Zhang was a scientist when he arrived from Shanghai in 1989 seeking opportunity that he was lacking at home. He worked as a welder before starting an eyewear company that has close ties with China. “We can be like a bridge. We understand China, we understand Australia and sometimes we can promote the cultural exchanges, promote the business. And for the moment, for example, a lot of Chinese business, they want to invest in Australia but they don’t know how. They don’t understand the local regulations and we can help,” said Zhang. But China’s growing influence in Australia does have its challenges. The government recently blocked the sale of key electricity assets to Chinese firms on national security grounds. Other areas of contention are prime farmland and real estate. Helen Sham-Ho, one of Australia’s first Chinese MPs, who served in the New South Wales parliament in the late 1980s, believes investors from China are making housing here increasingly unaffordable. “This is bad influence and bad image for the Chinese though. They are not only just investors, some of them are residents or citizens admittedly, but they [have] got the money, they are so affluent, so they overbid all the locals. Of course, you get resentful because the market is no longer an Australian market, it becomes an investors’ market or really a Chinese market. It is not fair for the locals,” said Sham-Ho. But Australia is increasingly a magnet for wealthier migrants from China wanting to be part of one of the world’s most stable and prosperous nations. Article Source: voanews |

CategoriesGovt to review immigration numbers
![]() The Immigration Minister says the government will review the number of immigrants entering the country, but he does not expect the policy to change.
A record 69,000 people settled in New Zealand in the year to July. That broke a run of consecutive monthly gains that lasted 23 months and reached a high of 69,100. On a monthly basis, the number of people coming to live in New Zealand, or New Zealanders returning home fell slightly to 5600. The minister, Michael Woodhouse, told TVNZ's Q + A programme this morning the numbers for the new residents programme would be reviewed by Cabinet in the next month or so. At present it is set between 45,000 and 50,000. The planning range is set over a two-year period, which expired at the end of June. Mr Woodhouse said in most of the past 10 years there had been considerably fewer new residents than the current number. Labour Party leader Andrew Little had previously said there was a mismatch between immigration and labour market needs with workers being brought in from overseas to fill jobs while thousands of New Zealand labourers were unemployed. Real estate company Harcourts, meanwhile, blamed record immigration and poor planning for the country's housing shortage. Article Source: radionz |
