No Borders Migration Advocates 1More Positives Come from Australian Immigration than Negatives
June 18th 2008 04:16
Australian immigration has contributed not only to the rise of population figures but also the economic growth of the country as a whole - the positives of immigration ultimately outweigh the negatives.
In the past six months almost 100 000 foreigners have come to Australia on either permanent or temporary visas. These people are seen as the key to filling labour shortages and contributing to Australia's ever growing economy.
According to a recent report in PowerHomeBiz.com the Australian government acknowledge the need for migrants in order to counteract the constant call for labour. It is estimated that as many as 18 000 extra workers are needed a year in order to maintain Australian economic growth rates.
"Australia desperately need skilled workers," says Erin Ryan of international global mobility specialists. She explains that, "This is due to an aging population and current financial boom." Immigrants are seen as the solution.
Australia has essentially become a country of immigrants with an estimated quarter of the population born overseas and half having a parent who was born abroad. Various studies show the social benefits of such immigration.
From creating new business, supplying specialized skills and ultimately contributing to the prosperity of the country as a whole, immigration to Australia contributes to Australian development.
In a 2007 study by the Australian government entitled, 'The Social Costs and Benefits of Migration into Australia,' the problems involved with immigration are shown to be of less impact than the benefits.
Despite language difficulties, infrastructure inadequacies and cultural diversity, the overall fact that most immigrants go down under and work, produce and fill skills shortages is highlighted. As the report says, "Migrants to Australia have made and continue to make substantial contributions to Australia's stock of human, social and produced capital."
However how to manage this influx of migration in order to escalate the contributions and reduce any negative impacts has become the core issue at hand.
It is however clear that Australia profits through immigration and the contributions of immigrants.
