Do skilled migrants help the economy?

Do skilled migrants help the economy?

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

There's a lot of heated debate about Australia's immigration program. And so when a new report on the economic outcomes of skilled worker visa holders hit host Carrington Clarke's inbox - he was eager to find out more.

Today on the podcast, Carrington is in conversation with Dr. Peter Varela,  research fellow at the Tax and Transfer Policy Institute at the Australian National University - one of the report's authors.

So what does the data tell us? And does it offer any solutions to improve the productivity of the Australian Labour market?

Also - the government unveils carve outs for CGT. We get Peter Varela's take after his appearance at the Senate Inquiry earlier this week. 

Carrington Clarke and Dr. Peter Varela, research fellow at the Tax and Transfer Policy Institute at the Australian National University, break it all down on ABC Business Daily.
