As Australia slashed the number of permanent immigrants, the number of temporary immigrants continues to rise.
According to statistics, the current growth rate of Australia`s population is five times the average rate of growth in developed countries, and the (NOM) of net overseas immigrants exceeds two hundred thousand per year.
In last year`s budget, government estimated net emigration to be 234600 in 2018 and 231400 in 2019.
But in the latest 2019 / 20 budget, net emigration rose to 259600 in 2018, compared with a forecast of 271700 in 2019.
By the way, net overseas migration means that there are at least 12 months of residence in / outside Australia for a period of 16 months:
If you stay in Australia for at least 12 months within 16 months and have not previously been counted in the current population, they are among the growing population. Such as long-term students, skilled immigrants, New Zealand 444 visa holders and so on, and the average visitor basically does not meet this definition.
If you leave Australia for more than 12 months in 16 months and have previously been counted in the current population, these people are negative growth in the number of people leaving Australia. Likely to include Australian residents, permanent residents, long-term tourists, citizen, etc., to do demographics need to be deducted.
The difference is net immigration, a figure that better reflects Australia`s population growth.
Now that permanent immigration has been slashed, and Australia`s population has not fallen significantly, it is not that easy to control population by cutting PR, and PR is not the culprit for Australia`s population growth.
Temporary immigrants account for a large proportion of net overseas immigrants. Labour, while expressing its support for the government`s cut in the permanent quota, has little to say about the growth of temporary immigrants. Some agencies have also criticised former immigrants for stealing jobs.
Among the immigrants, New Zealanders account for the bulk of the population, about 40%. International students grew faster, but they eventually got only 1 / 6. 6% of PR. About 1 / 2 of the skilled immigrants have moved to permanent residence. So simply take foreign students, backpackers and other temporary immigrants say things are biased.
Supporters argue that Australia`s population is small and immigrants are not robbing their jobs. The key to the problem is uneven distribution.
Now that the government has cut its quota to one hundred and sixty thousand a year, it will allocate 50 million Australian dollars over the next five years to introduce new, remote visas to guide and encourage international students and new immigrants to leave large cities where populations are too concentrated to go to small towns or remote areas.
Are you ready?
