Transnational Affect and the Moral Economies of Temporary Skilled Migration of South Indians to Australia

预计印度很快将超过中国，成为继新西兰和英国之后的澳大利亚第三大移民来源国。大多数印度移民到澳大利亚从事高技能职业，其中很大一部分是持临时技术移民签证（457）抵达的。国际上对这些受过高等教育和技术熟练的移徙工人的竞争十分激烈，这类移徙工人代表了澳大利亚移徙政策的一个重要新方向。这项拟议的研究将为政策制定者提供重要的见解，了解新的临时技术移民计划对临时移民和更广泛的澳大利亚社区的影响。

India is expected to surpass China soon as Australia's third largest migration source after New Zealand and the United Kingdom. A majority of Indian migrants to Australia work in highly skilled occupations, a large proportion of whom arrive on a temporary skilled migration visa (457). There is intense international competition for these highly educated and skilled migrant workers and this migration category represents a major new direction in Australia's migration policy. The proposed study will provide significant insights for policy makers into the impacts of the new temporary skilled migration scheme on both the temporary migrants and the wider Australian community.
