| description |
The seasonal worker program (SWP) was
formally introduced in 2012 following a four-year pilot
scheme. The program maintains the dual objectives of: (i)
contributing to the economic development of nine
participating Pacific Island countries and Timor-Leste; and
(ii) filling labor shortages in the Australian agriculture
sector, accommodation sector (in selected locations), and
tourism sector (the Northern Australia tourism pilot). This
paper assesses the first of these objectives, evaluating the
impact of the SWP on workers, their households, and
communities. In doing so, it aims to build on the evidence
already collected on the development impacts of the Pacific
seasonal worker pilot scheme and shed further light on how
the program can be improved to increase the benefits flowing
through to the Pacific region. |
