Public Policy and Immigrant Settlement in Australia

拟议的研究将评估劳动力市场条件、收入支持政策和移民选择标准在促进最近移民在澳大利亚定居方面的相对重要性。该项目将是第一个利用澳大利亚移民纵向调查的完整数据来比较两批新移民的重大学术研究，这些新移民是在不同的政策背景和经济条件下来到澳大利亚的，他们最初的定居结果截然不同。这一结果将增进我们对移民如何适应澳大利亚的理解，并将有助于未来的政策制定。

The proposed research will assess the relative importance of labour market conditions, income-support policy, and immigrant selection criteria in facilitating the settlement of recent immigrants in Australia. The project will be the first major academic study to make use of the complete data from the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Australia to compare two cohorts of recent immigrants who arrived under different policy settings and economic conditions and whose initial settlement outcomes varied dramatically. The results will advance our understanding of how immigrants adjust to Australia and will be useful for future policy development.
