The paper explains how the operating context for the programme has shaped the governance changes. This environment has included media and union pressures to address incidents of alleged worker mistreatment. Also important was the rapid growth in worker numbers from Pacific countries during Covid. However, since then the number of seasonal workers working in agriculture has shrunk considerably. This has been due in part to the return of working holiday makers in large numbers. Also important is the decreased employer demand for seasonal workers engaged under stricter risk management requirements set recently by governments.</p>","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70033","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144503163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

China is an interesting place to explore this, as it is the largest carbon emitter and is taking strong steps towards carbon neutrality after the Paris Agreement. We investigate the impact of 28 Chinese carbon neutral policies on the stock return and systematic risk during 2014–2022. Event study methodology and modified CAPM (capital asset pricing model) with dummy variable for announcement date are employed. The results show that the electricity &amp; heating, finance, and health sector experiences negative effects, while the mining industry has positive returns. Industries with mixed impacts initially experience negative impacts in the early stages, but turn positive later. Moreover, there is a noticeable trend of decreasing systematic risk in high-energy-consuming industries. This suggests that consistent policy enforcement can reduce the risks stemming from policy uncertainty, which in turn can benefit both firms and investors.</p>","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144336102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By braiding the latest philosophies on gender mainstreaming with Integrated Water Resources Management and Feminist Policy Analysis principles, we describe a Multi-Dimensional Index of Gender in Water Policy (MDI-GWP) to measure how gender is captured in water-related policy. The index enables the motivated policy actor to produce well-crafted and feasible recommendations to reform policies. When we trialled MDI-GWP on 16 of Nepalʼs federal water-related policies and acts, the multi-dimensional index tracked gender policy developments over the past 30 years, identified areas where policymakers could further consider gender, and revealed differences in gender application between sectors. We included water resources management (WRM), agriculture, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sectors. In Nepalʼs case, agriculture and WASH policies are on an improving trajectory for gender equity, while WRM policy has rebounded to the gender blind. We expect that MDI-GWP is simple enough to apply in other countries, yet meaningful enough to identify opportunities to improve gender in policies and achieve better outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70029","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144331837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper provides an overview of New Zealandʼs Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) scheme, a circular migration programme to support the countryʼs horticulture and viticulture industries. The scheme began in 2007 and now allows over 20,000 RSE workers a year to enter the country for seasonal work. This paper outlines how the RSE scheme operates, including trends in employersʼ recruitment from the Pacific, and features of employer and worker participation over time. The scheme has been transformative for the horticultural sector due to the certainty of labour it provides during peak seasons.

However, existing literature overlooks the spatial disparities and multidimensional nature of this transformation, leaving significant gaps. This study employs a holistic approach, utilising Principal Component Analysis (PCA), to construct the Rural Transformation Development Index (RTDI) for districts in Pakistan in order to see its spatial pattern and extent over the period 2004–2019. The indicators of RTDI are share of high-valued agriculture and livestock in the total value of agriculture, share of non-farm employment in the total rural employment, urbanisation and land use intensity. The study classifies districts into five RTDI categories, highlighting the varied pace of rural transformation over time. Overall, it is evident that rural transformation is not uniform rather it represents large inter-district disparities. However, exploratory spatial data analysis implies existence of clustering in the dataset and underscoring the need for multidimensional, region-specific policies tailored to the unique characteristics of each district and its cluster, rather than a uniform approach across the country to speed up the process of rural transformation.</p>","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The panel-corrected-standard-error technique infers that a one-point increase in GLZ and FIND reduces the RE share in total energy consumption in the ASEAN region by 0.71% and 8.41%, respectively. It finds that the investment in energy with private participation moderates the relationship between FIND and RE, and FDI except in energy moderates the relations between GLZ and RE. The country-specific estimation suggests that Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam be concerned about GLZ, while the Philippines and Vietnam also be concerned about FIND since these might affect their RE transition process.
