This research will inform current policy debate on the benefits to migrant-sending communities of expanding migration opportunities for migrants from the Pacific islands through targeted worker schemes. Australian industry and agricultural employers are experiencing acute labour shortages while Pacific island governments are urging Australia and New Zealand to open their labour markets to low-skilled workers in the face of growing unemployment and political instability. The findings will also provide Australian foreign aid organisations with a better understanding of the way in which migrants' remittances are determined and migrant's interaction with money transfer agencies.

这项研究将为当前关于通过有针对性的工人计划扩大太平洋岛屿移民移徙机会对移民派遣社区的好处的政策辩论提供信息。澳大利亚的工业和农业雇主正面临严重的劳动力短缺，而太平洋岛国政府正敦促澳大利亚和新西兰向低技能工人开放劳动力市场，以应对不断上升的失业率和政治不稳定。研究结果还将使澳大利亚的外援组织更好地了解移民汇款的确定方式，以及移民与汇款机构的互动。
