The number of unemployed international graduates in Australia is set to rise if the temporary graduate visa program isn’t overhauled.
- Research associate, Grattan Institute
Last year, the workplace cop fined employers just $4 million for underpaying workers. The Tax Office collected $3 billion in penalties from people who didn’t pay their tax.
Migrants in Australia less than five years are twice as likely to be underpaid as other employees.
Australia can’t run an uncapped temporary migration program with a capped permanent program and offer all temporary migrants a road to permanent residency.
One challenge is the minimum wage for temporary skilled migrants; another is the pathway from temporary to permanent residency.
“Business investment visas” are more likely to fund retail businesses than innovation.
