title: Immigration and unemployment in Australia.
abstract: "This article is presented in two parts.  The first contains a discussion of Australia's migration programme, its different categories and changes in intakes.  It also deals with the contribution made by immigration to the size of the labour force.... The second part deals with the effect of immigration on the unemployment rate and concludes that its effect is negligible or, at best, slightly positive.... Against this background the paper discusses factors contributing to the employment and unemployment experience of migrants, for whom English language proficiency and the possession of recognized skills and qualifications are important in determining employability."
