Undocumented Migrants- Unearthing Knowledge on a Key Source of Farm Labour

澳大利亚园艺业面临着地方性的劳动力挑战，既有劳动力供应方面的挑战，也有不遵守劳工标准的系统性问题。这两个问题的一个核心组成部分是对非法移民的根深蒂固的依赖。鉴于复杂的供应链将新鲜水果和蔬菜从农场转移到消费者手中，无证工人基本上是看不见的。关于农场上的无证工人的研究很少。针对澳大利亚和国际上这一严重的知识差距，该项目是第一个从涉及政府、雇主和工人的多方利益攸关方的角度全面分析非法移民在园艺业中的作用的研究。

The Australian horticulture industry has endemic labour challenges, both in terms of labour supply challenges and a systemic problem of non-compliance with labour standards. A core component of both problems is the entrenched reliance on undocumented migrants. Given complex supply chains transiting fresh fruit and vegetables from the farm to the consumer, undocumented workers are largely invisible. There is very little research on undocumented workers on farms. Addressing this critical Australian and international knowledge gap, this project is the first study to comprehensively analyse the role of undocumented migrants in the horticulture industry from a multi-stakeholder approach, involving government, employers and workers.
