Circular Migration in Asia, the Pacific and Australia: Empirical, Theoretical and Policy Dimensions

在当代澳大利亚，很少有比国际移民更重要的问题了。这对澳大利亚的未来至关重要，因为它面临着全球经济低迷、老龄化、气候变化以及与亚太邻国不断变化的关系。在过去，澳大利亚与其地区的移民关系几乎完全被视为有技能的定居者的来源。然而，这种关系正变得越来越复杂。移民将继续是国家经济、社会和安全的基础，这项研究试图为移民和发展方面更好的政策和做法提供证据基础。

Few issues have been more significant in contemporary Australia than international migration. It is of fundamental importance to Australia's future as it faces the global economic downturn, ageing, climate change and an ever-changing relationship with its Asia-Pacific neighbours. In the past Australia's migration relationship with its region has been almost totally seen as a source of skilled settlers. However this relationship is increasingly a more complex one. Migration will continue to be fundamental to the nation's economy, society and security and this study seeks to provide an evidence base for better policy and practice in immigration and development.
