This project compares the nature and impact of civil society initiatives concerning temporary labour migration in Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan. It provides a model for understanding NGO-union cooperation on migrant labour issues, useful not only in East and Southeast Asia, where foreign workers - and foreign workers' rights - are already matters of serious concern, but in countries like Australia, where skills shortages and ageing populations are increasing pressure on governments to allow large-scale temporary foreign labour. The project's findings will assist government agencies and local and transnational civil society groups to respond more effectively to temporary labour migration.

该项目比较了香港、韩国、马来西亚、新加坡和台湾民间社会关于临时劳工移徙的倡议的性质和影响。它为理解非政府组织与工会在移民劳工问题上的合作提供了一个模式，不仅在东亚和东南亚有用，在那里外国工人--以及外国工人的权利--已经是严重关切的问题，而且在澳大利亚等国家，技能短缺和人口老龄化正在增加政府允许大规模临时外国劳工的压力。该项目的调查结果将协助政府机构以及地方和跨国民间社会团体更有效地应对临时劳工移徙问题。
