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

澳大利亚园艺业有地方性的劳动力挑战，无论是在劳动力供应挑战和不遵守劳动标准的系统性问题。这两个问题的一个核心组成部分是对无证移民根深蒂固的依赖。考虑到新鲜水果和蔬菜从农场到消费者的复杂供应链，无证工人在很大程度上是隐形的。很少有关于农场无证工人的研究。为了解决这一关键的澳大利亚和国际知识差距，该项目是第一个从多方利益相关者的角度全面分析无证移民在园艺业中的作用的研究，涉及政府、雇主和工人。

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.
