Australia faces a severe skills shortage in areas central to its social fabric and that are traditionally dominated by women: nursing, childcare and teaching. While we are successful in attracting skilled migrants to fill these gaps, one third choose to leave Australia within 5 years. This is a very unfavourable outcome in view of the continuing skills shortage and the unrecoverable costs associated with attracting skilled migrants. The project will gain insight into factors that influence the retention rates of skilled female migrants and, in doing so, enable government agencies to develop targeted retention measures.

澳大利亚在其社会结构的核心领域面临严重的技能短缺，这些领域传统上由女性主导：护理，育儿和教学。虽然我们成功地吸引了技术移民来填补这些空缺，但三分之一的人选择在五年内离开澳大利亚。鉴于技术人员持续短缺，以及吸引技术移民的成本无法收回，这是一个非常不利的结果。该项目将深入了解影响有技能的女性移民保留率的因素，从而使政府机构能够制定有针对性的保留措施。
