This 18-month research project will investigate the costs and benefits of increasing labour mobility between the Pacific and Australia, including the feasibility of a seasonal labour program to employ agricultural workers from Pacific Island nations in the Swan Hill/Mildura region during periods of peak labour demand. It will forge a ground-breaking collaboration between an international development agency and local government to investigate how such a scheme might contribute simultaneously to economic and social development in Pacific Island nations (through remittances and skills transfers) and in regional Australia (by improving the labour supply to key horticultural industries).

这个为期18个月的研究项目将调查太平洋和澳大利亚之间增加劳动力流动的成本和效益，包括在劳动力需求高峰期雇用来自天鹅山/米尔杜拉地区太平洋岛国农业工人的季节性劳动力计划的可行性。它将在一个国际发展机构和地方政府之间建立一种开创性的合作，以调查这样一个计划如何能够同时促进太平洋岛屿国家（通过汇款和技能转让）和澳大利亚区域（通过改善主要园艺产业的劳动力供应）的经济和社会发展。
