Funded Activity Summary

Transnational Affect and the Moral Economies of Temporary Skilled Migration of South Indians to Australia. India is expected to surpass China soon as Australia's third largest migration source after New Zealand and the United Kingdom. A majority of Indian migrants to Australia work in highly skilled occupations, a large proportion of whom arrive on a temporary skilled migration visa (457). There is intense international competition for these highly educated and skilled migrant workers and this migration category represents a major new direction in Australia's migration policy. The proposed study will provide significant insights for policy makers into the impacts of the new temporary skilled migration scheme on both the temporary migrants and the wider Australian community.
