Australian diasporas and brain gain: exploring current and potential transnational linkages.

这项研究将调查散居在澳大利亚和海外的人目前和未来在促进贸易和投资方面的作用。这项研究将考察他们与祖国的政治、文化和亲属关系，并绘制出澳大利亚七个侨民的地理位置。这将提供新的数据，描述在澳大利亚的侨民的特征、动机和行动。数据分析将确定当前和潜在的海外移民通过“人才增长”和“流通”而不是“人才流失”为澳大利亚社会增加价值的作用。研究结果将为移民和旨在使移民的利益最大化的社会政策提供参考。

The research will investigate current and potential future roles of diasporas in both Australia and overseas in facilitating trade and investment. The study will examine their political, cultural and kinship ties with homelands and map the geography of seven diasporas in Australia. This will provide new data that describes the character, motivations and movements of diasporas in Australia. Data analysis will determine the current and potential role diaspora play in adding value to Australian society through 'brain gain' and 'circulation' versus 'brain drain'. Findings will inform migration and social policy aimed at maximising benefits of migration.
