Australia's new Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, is considering making changes to the nation's migration program to help offset skills shortages currently affecting the economy. He said that his government wanted to make sure that Australia had proper skills planning as part of a strong foundation for the future of the Australian economy.
A 'Skills Australia' program would create a roadmap of the skills Australia will need in the coming years. The effort would emphasize greater investment in skills and training, and "calibrating the migration program, as appropriate," both for the current economy and the "next economy."
The rapidly expanding economy of Western Australia continues to cause skills shortages in the area which, in turn, are driving up demand for labor from overseas. In 1996, the majority of temporary foreign labor originated either from New Zealand or the United Kingdom. However, during the following decade, the proportion of immigrants fell dramatically from those countries. Most of the shortfall has been made up from the nearby Asian nations of Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
