New Zealand's new Recognized
Seasonal Employer program allows workers from the Pacific
Islands to come to New Zealand for up to seven months to
work in the horticulture and viticulture industries. One of
the explicit objectives of the program is to encourage
economic development in the Pacific. This paper reports the
results of a baseline survey taken in Vanuatu, which the
authors use to examine who wants to participate in the
program, and who is selected among those interested. The
findings show that the main participants are males in their
late 20s to early 40s, and most are married and have
children. Most workers are subsistence farmers in Vanuatu
and have not completed more than 10 years of schooling. Such
workers would be unlikely to be accepted under existing
migration channels. Nevertheless, the program workers from
Vanuatu tend to come from wealthier households, and have
better English literacy and health than individuals not
applying for the program. Lack of knowledge about the policy
and the costs of applying appear to be the main barriers
preventing poorer individuals applying. |
