Abstract

We outline the case for Australia to adopt a ‘New Regional Compact’ focusing on working with its Pacific Island neighbours and Timor-Leste through improved labour mobility and skilling as a complement to foreign aid and development assistance. We examine the distinctive context and evidence for this approach, related policy settings and possible ways forward. Embedded in this shift is a necessary move from a short-term focus on temporary migration, skills shortage, and limited-term aid programs, to long-term foundational policies that can be a permanent feature of Australia's policy ecosystem and that of its neighbours.

是时候制定新的区域契约了!

我们概述了澳大利亚采用“新区域契约”的案例，重点是通过改善劳动力流动性和技能，作为对外援助和发展援助的补充，与太平洋岛屿邻国和东帝汶合作。我们研究了这种方法的独特背景和证据，相关的政策设置和可能的前进方向。在这一转变中，有必要从短期关注临时移民、技能短缺和有限期限的援助计划，转向长期的基础政策，这些政策可以成为澳大利亚及其邻国政策生态系统的永久特征。
